I looked at the dolphin to see what was wrong, and it made a bubble ring! It was a very moving memory.

[@Oswald_Thatendswald]

this has actually been a theory for a long time with marine scientists who have been studying whale/dolphin calls. I saw a doc about Orcas and they were taking all the different sounds they make and trying to organize them to perhaps find some sort of language, like you said, and they found that its nearly impossible due to how complex it really is. It was quite fascinating.

[@Smitty-hr2mg]

Their language is probably more complex than we can understand. Likely why we haven't done so already. They may well have an intellect beyond ours. They coordinate turn by turn play, hunting strategy, and even clearly possess a sense of sympathy as numerous reports dolphins intervening to save human lives indicates. They truly are something. I hope that one day we can understand them. It would be a pleasure to communicate with them. Though it would probably be boring for them, and would likely be put to ill use by humans in the end.

Just as he was about to take the shot, the beluga squirted him with a stream of water that looked like it came out of a garden hose. The beluga then swam around and around its tank until the guy got dried off and was again adjusting his complicated camera. The beluga stopped and posed nicely until the guy was about to take the shot, whereupon it squirted him again exactly the same way. I wonder which being had the higher IQ?

@Jonathan Huisman You should watch it... The intelligence required to be able to do basic things like solving a puzzle, recognizing a pattern, realizing it is not a threat and to form a play pattern and to also be able to evolve the play pattern like the dolphins do at such a high rate is quite high in comparison to the average across the animal spectrum. If you don't understand this concept, it's going to be very hard explaining in a manner that you do understand. Hope that answer your question.

[@zorionzorion]

I thought the "swim through" was particularly telling. If I'm a fish, every time I swim through a ring I find somewhere in the ocean, I risk it being some kind of plastic and somehow getting it stuck permanently around my body. I imagine it goes directly against their experience to do something like that. The dolphin realized it was just bubbles and harmless, and then swam through. But also maybe I'm giving too much credit, and that dolphin did not have these thoughts.

[@Infinias]

Why too much? I would assume they are intelligent enough to identify it as air bubbles and therefore as save. I mean not by direct interaction with them but by observation.

[@rockandrollfantasy86]

That dolphin literally watched another dolphin bite at it and it disappeared. I think they can understand air bubble vs. plastic, as they were cautious and curious at first.

[@epileptix8954]

Dolphins are incredibly intelligent and pay extremely close attention to their environment and objects in it. I was pretty stunned to learn first hand while shark fishing, that they virtually never get hooked because they can tell the difference between even a live fish and live bait fish. They absolutely make connections to objects and understand them in great detail. 👍

I am certain the divers and cameramen focusing on this helps to keep the attention of the dolphins... But, it is certainly beautiful to see their clear joy in play, even the initial trepidation and curiosity display their obvious intelligence and emotion. I have seen captive Belugas blow rings somehow underwater and manipulate them for their own amusement. Indeed, the more amused I was with the performance, the more animated the performance became... All the while, punctuated with looks to my reaction followed by an uncanny inhuman smile mirroring my own. Wonderful, intelligent cetaceans.

[@AK-jt7kh]

This is such a beautiful comment! I really enjoyed it! We’ve filmed dolphins playing games with a similar amount of attention, supposedly*, without the awareness that they are being watched. Very supposedly, because I got that from Spy in the Wild, and uhh…they do seem to have a lot of suspicious high quality footage that clearly isn’t coming from their robots! I think, though, that animals with the neural patterns to engage in this behavior are demonstrating the neurological capacity to do so, whether or not they achieve a sense of social validation. You’re right, though, of course - the attention probably doesn’t hurt!

[@bigbossnass9240]

Play is such an amazing sign of intelligence. Many people interpret that as "play will make the dolphins smarter." That's not the case though. They were already smart. "Dolphins are smart therefore they play." That's what's really going on. Play is an example of growing past your animal instincts of self-preservation and survival strategies. Our dopamine system rewards us when we do things that will help us to propagate our species. Play is a realization that you can trigger these dopamine responses without actually needing to do anything at all for your evolutionary survival. The dolphins are smart enough to understand that they can live a life MORE than just that of animal instinct. They really are quite smart. With cats, however, their type of play is very much focused around triggering that animalistic dopamine hunting response. So their not just playing for plays sake which is feeling good. Some cats are more than smart enough to do this, but most just emulate what they'd be doing naturally to get that dopamine. So it doesn't really compare with what the dolphins are doing, but it's also not the best example of dolphins playing for plays sake as the biting of the rings can be seen as hunting behavior. But it really reads more like they are playing instead of hunting simulation. And there are much better videos out there showing dolphins playing games that don't really have anything to do with their kind of hunting. I wonder if dolphins are smart enough to understand that other creatures are conscious just the same as the dolphins and that have information about the universe that the dolphins don't have. This is the step that separates human intellect from animal.
