Dolphins are incredibly intelligent animals. Scientists have observed dolphins using tools, such as sponges to protect their noses while searching for food on the ocean floor. Dolphins can also recognize themselves in mirrors, which is a sign of self-awareness that only a few animals possess. They communicate with each other using clicks and whistles, and each dolphin has its own unique whistleβlike a name!
