I have heard that dolphins are super smart. I was wondering if anyone else thinks that dolphins are the smartest animal in the ocean. I know that there are some marine biologist who think that they are close to figuring out how dolphins talk to one another and what they are actually telling each other. I know that dolphins are easy to train and learn super duper fast.
What do you think? Do you think that dolphins are the smartest animal in the ocean?

Dolphins are definitely intelligent and the smartest of all ocean animals, probably the smartest animal in the animal kingdom as a whole. It would be great to find out what they communicate and we could truly learn from this great, fantastic creatures of the ocean.

Yes you are right that dolphins are extremely smart, yes marine biologist are trying to figure out how the dolphins communicate to one another,. Yes dolphins are easy to train and learn very quickly. Of course they are the smartest animal in the sea.

That's what I've always heard repeated, unless you count some of the humans who make trips out to the ocean, e.g. marine biologists.

I think they must certainly be among the smartest, as they are mammals. I just recently found out that the Orca (killer whale) is actually a variety of dolphin, and not a whale. I do not know if dolphins and porpose are any smarter than whales - or if they just like to communicate with us more.
They sure are endearing creatures!

Yes, i think dolphins are the smartest animal in the ocean.
I love dolphins and i know that Dolphins have large brains. They are playful, the smartest dolphin is the bottle nose Dolphin. They have been known to understand word and other type of dolphins are known to understand commands.
I really think that they are the smartest animal in the ocean and in the world, and they are lovely, and the most interesting think is that they can cure the persons that are sick.
