Are You As Intelligent as a Dolphin?

Are You As Intelligent as a Dolphin?

Dolphins are sea-dwelling mammals, related to whales, with streamlined bodies, flippers, and a cute perma-smile. Fast swimmers and excellent listeners, dolphins are among the most talkative of all creatures, using high-pitched clicks and wails to communicate over long distances.

These clever creatures are known to cooperate, teach, learn, grieve, and even scheme! Their brains include the same cells we use when for socialization, judgement, and theory.

And while dolphins are among the planet's most intelligent creatures, perhaps comparable with humans, humans often exhibit traits of stupidity more closely related to the ostrich, lemming, or panda.

So, what are you? Deep like a dolphin or dumb as a dodo? We're talking emotional intelligence as much as super-brains that can navigate the cryptic crossword. Find out where you lie in the animal intelligence spectrum with our fun quiz!!!
