What are Dolphins Trying to Say to Us?
What if you could talk to a dolphin?
For years, we have studied the consciousness and intelligence of these creatures. Now, researchers have found that dolphins can pick up on what we’re communicating and are learning to respond back!
Take a look at the techniques scientists, like renowned wild dolphin researcher Denise Herzing, are using to get some insight into how these magnificent creatures function in their own societies in this great video brought to us by Quartz.
