Scientists able to talk to and teach dolphins sentences - Dolphins share a universal language.

I think this would make them a progressive intelligent species. With this we are probably able to learn from them in the future.

It's time to stop eating them now, Japan.

They didn't happen to be saying "so long, and thanks for all the fish"?


Amazing post OP! I'm curious to see how far this communication can be pushed.

My dog and cat understand when i talk to them. Sit, stay, treat....you want to go for a walk.....whats different here?

You know, if dolphin language is truely based on sonic imaging of 3D symbols, and they are as intelligent as we assume, it wouldn't be much of a step to teach them to read carved Egyptian Hieroglyphs...

Just sayin'...

Common urban legend/misconception. Many different animals have sex for fun/pleasure. Visit the zoo and you'll find chimps and gorillas masturbating. Obviously it gives them pleasure because they like doing it. They just don't have any shame associated with it like humans do. Having an orgasm releases similar hormones and chemicals in other animals which cause intensely pleasurable sensations. Humans aren't alone in our sexual promiscuity.

What's different is a dog or a cat learn to recognize sounds and associate them with certain rewards or activities. Certainly intelligent, sure. But the dolphins in this case are the ones communicating back, and to each other. Basically, it's like the dolphin "wrote a note", which the scientists gave to another dolphin and it read the note. That's quite a bit different from an animal learning to recognize the phrase "sit" to mean sitting his butt on the floor for a treat.

Dolphins and Whales are being freed from this planet, and of course there'll be humans freed too. They are cosmic citizens. Very badly mistreated and abused ones by the board of directors of this planet, and even some common folk.

We have always known they are soul creatures like us! Whales and Elephants too!

The level of ignorance in your comment is beyond incredible. First of all, common household pets such as dogs and cats are only limited to react to stimulus by conditioning them through exercise/training. THEY DO NOT understand YOUR language.You and them, can't communicate. In fact, you may pronounce different words with the same connotation and they'll be tricked to react the same way as if you were using the word you believe they understand.

If you ring a bell every time you serve your dog food, he will be conditioned to begin salivating in his mouth every time the bell rings, EVEN if there's NO FOOD.

Anyway, just educate yourself before posting non-sense. That's just delusional...

EDIT: Also just so you know the difference between dog and dolphins. Scientifically proven, the dog brain is only as that of a three year old baby. A dolphin mind is more complex confirm studies.

I understand that completely, however there's a docu about a lady who owns a dog that knows several hundred commands, She can also show it pictures of items she wants it to fetch!!! Pictures are symbols!!!
