The Genius of Dolphins
Dolphin Diplomacy
Dolphins are not just cute; they’re brilliant negotiators. They form intricate social networks, complete with alliances and rivalries. Dolphins use these relationships to secure food, protection, and even mates. Imagine Flipper forming a diplomatic alliance to secure the best fish in the sea. It’s like Game of Thrones, but underwater and with way more squeaks.
Tool Use
But wait, there’s more! Dolphins use tools, too. They’ve been observed covering their snouts with marine sponges to protect themselves while foraging on the seafloor. This behavior is passed down through generations, showcasing their ability to learn and innovate. Who knew that the ocean’s most charming residents were also its smartest?
