Are dolphins as intelligent as we think they are or do they just seem that way?
Like this episode of #AnimalIQ? Of course you do, that’s the porpoise of us making it! You should subscribe to Terra 🐋 (Trace takes full responsibility for these terrible jokes)
Dolphins are playful and intelligent sea creatures. Humans are enamored with their smarts. We all know they can jump through hoops, but just how much brain power do dolphins have? Can they recognize friends from strangers? Comprehend basic mathematics? Surely they can’t use a giant underwater touchscreen… can they? (!hey can!) What can’t dolphins do? You’ll have to tune in to Animal IQ to find out! This week Natalia called Dr Diana Riess a dolphin intelligence expert from Hunter College and Trace called Ph.D student Diana Rocha of the World Cetacean Alliance and Dolphin Encountours to learn more about these precocious porpoises.
On Animal IQ we dig into the research and talk to the experts to find out just how smart animals appear to be. We then use that knowledge to fill in our AIQ Rubric across five domains of intelligence: Social, Rational, Awareness, Ecological, and our own intelligence X-Factor. Every animal is clever, but their talents vary based on their evolution, biology, values, adaptations and environment. We hope y’all learn how each of our animals tick on Animal IQ!

Watch this Dolphin use a giant touchscreen
To say that dolphins are smart as heck is an understatement. They can detect magnetic fields, get high off sucking the life out of other marine life, have been used in several countries’ military as weapons or as bomb detectors—and now, they’re able to use touchscreens.
Decades-Long Social Memory exists in Bottlenose Dolphins
Long-term social memory is important, because it is an ecologically relevant test of cognitive capacity, it helps us understand which social relationships are remembered and it relates two seemingly disparate disciplines: cognition and sociality.
Dolphins can understand partners role in a cooperative task
In recent decades, a number of studies have examined whether various non-human animals understand their partner’s role in cooperative situ- ations. Yet the relatively tolerant timing requirements of these tasks make it theoretically possible for animals to succeed by using simple behavioural strategies rather than by jointly intended coordination.
Foraging with a sponge on their ‘nose’ : Is this tool use?
During long-term research on bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) in Shark Bay, Western Australia, several individuals were observed carrying sponges, Echinodictyum mesenterinum, on their rostra…
