The evidence suggests dolphins share the human ability to recognise themselves and other members of the same species as individuals with separate identities. The research, on wild bottlenose dolphins, will lead to a reassessment of their intelligence and social complexity, raising moral questions over how they should be treated.

Sheep also have the ability to recognize other sheep’s faces.

The moral questions are for those who are stingy with their compassion; even fish feel pain. Respect the things that are part of your life cycle; even those things that are not. The primacy of shareholder profits flies in the face of morality.

Hey, dolphins are cool. This is what happened to the pirates who abducted Dionysus. He turned them all into dolphins and confiscated their ship.

Yes, they are intelligent, but do not let that smiling face fool ya! That is not a smile and they can ram and kill sharks.

Do not misunderstand, I love “em” but believe we humans misunderstand them, as we do so many critters.

Interesting article.

Shit, I fogot to renew my National Geographi!

LOL, a fish will eat you if given the opportunity, actually, they eat each other. Ever owned an aquarium? My Oscar ate Kitty Catfish in one swallow. Actually, he also killed and ate my other two Oscars in one night, only skeletons remained, and he was one buldging fish. Damn, I learned.
