5The Nature of Dolphins
Dolphins are highly intelligent and social animals, living in complex social structures known as pods. These pods often consist of family groups that work together to hunt, communicate, and protect each other. Their advanced cognitive abilities, demonstrated through problem-solving, use of tools, and intricate social interactions, place them among the most intelligent non-human species. Dolphins’ natural behaviors include hunting in coordinated groups, engaging in play, and traveling vast distances in the open ocean.
