Are Dolphins Really
Smart?: The mammal behind the myth
How intelligent are
dolphins? Is their communication system really as complex as human language?
And are they as friendly and peaceful as they are made out to be?
Justin Gregg weighs
up the claims made about dolphin intelligence and separates scientific fact
from fiction. He presents the results of the latest research in animal
behaviour, and puts our knowledge about them into perspective with comparisons
to scientific studies of other animals, especially the crow family and great
apes. He gives fascinating accounts of the challenges of testing what an animal
with flippers and no facial expressions might actually be thinking. Gregg's
evidence-based approach creates a comprehensive and up-to-date study of this
fascinating animal which will appeal to all those intrigued by dolphin
behaviour.
