Bottlenose Dolphin

The bottlenose dolphin is probably the most widely recognized marine mammal easily spotted just offshore from beaches around the world. Scientists have discovered that these bottlenose dolphins are so intelligent that they can be treated as ‘non-human persons’. Their communication is very similar to humans, and their brains have many key features associated with high intelligence. Dolphins have a distinct personality, a strong sense of self and can think about the future. Also, recent studies prove that bottlenose dolphins could recognize themselves in a mirror and use it to inspect various parts of their bodies.
