Dolphins The Cleverest Animal.

For many years people believed that the cleverest animal after an were the chimpanzess. Now, however, there is proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than these big apes.

Although a dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways, therefore, like a human being.

Dholpins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one anothr. It may be possible for man to learn how to talk to dolphins. But, this will not be asy because dolphins cannot hear the kind of sounds man can make. If ma wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will have to make a third language which both he and the dolphins can understand.

Dolphins are also very friendly toward man. They often follow ships. There are man stories about dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters.
