Is the dolphin an animal or a reasonable being?
Today, everyone agrees that the dolphin is an amazing animal. But, more than that, it's mysterious. Scientists have proven that dolphins are several times superior to the intelligence of all animals living on the planet. But the most shocking discovery made by scientists in recent times was that this water mammal has articulate speech!
For many years it was believed that of all living creatures on Earth only people are able to speak, to think abstractly, to understand someone else's speech. But now it is already proved that the dolphin - an animal, not a man - also intelligently conveys information to its relatives. And if people begin to understand the interlocutor from the third level, that is, after pronouncing the whole word, then these amazing cetaceans - from the first, that is, from the sound, which indicates a high intelligence.
The cerebral cortex of dolphins has more convolutions than in humans (twice). He can hear and reproduce sounds that people simply are not available.
Therefore, now the scientists are faced with the task: to solve the dolphin language and digitize their speech. You need this in order to try to start communicating with them using computer technology. After all, it may be that "brothers in reason" do not need to search in remote space - but suddenly they live next to us, only not on land, but in the water?
More recently, biologists were struck by yet another discovery. It turns out that the dolphin is an amazing animal not only intellectually, but also physiologically. During sleep, only one half of the brain is turned off, the second remains awake. Thus, it does not happen in a state of complete rest, it does not turn off absolutely during rest, as practically all other living organisms do, but, nevertheless, it gets a full rest. Does not this mean that his nature is more perfect than the human?
Today, these amazing, highly developed creatures are threatened with extinction. The reasons for this include habitat loss and violent homicide. Modern social networks filled out indignant comments under terrible photos. Every year in Taiji, fishermen in shallow water brutally kill thousands of dolphins. The water in the river during this hunt is painted in the color of blood - the sight is creepy ...
And if people all over the world do not unite in a general rush to stop this horror, then the dolphin, the mammal of the cetacean order, a reasonable being, will soon be completely destroyed.
