Humans and Dolphins...Are We Equal??

How We Are Alike

Dolphins and humans are alike in many ways. One way is that both can be very intelligent. Dolphins “talk” with each other, just like we do. They use clicks and squeaks instead of words, but it’s still communication.

Differences

Dolphins have always had a gift of being very friendly to other earth creatures for no reason. This is a very special gift that a lot of people envy. Humans, though, don’t have that type of talent. Many people are friendly, but not like the dolphins. Dolphins have a unique intelligence that allows them to learn things very quickly without being taught how to do it. This is done with the power of sonar.
