Dolphins are among the most socially and cognitively sophisticated animals on earth. Bottlenose dolphins use unique signature whistles — functional names that individuals develop in early life and that other dolphins use to address them specifically. They pass cultural knowledge between generations, with distinct tool-using traditions documented in different dolphin populations that never interact.
Dolphins demonstrate self-recognition in mirrors, a benchmark of self-awareness shared only with humans, great apes, elephants, and magpies. They sleep with one hemisphere of their brain at a time, maintaining partial consciousness continuously to breathe and watch for threats.
There are 42 known species of dolphin, found in oceans and rivers worldwide.
