Movies: Interspecies Relationships
Dolphins in the Wild
PBS
Related animal: Dolphin

This movie, hosted by Robin Williams, is a comic and informative documentary about dolphins in the wild. Dolphins are incredibly curious and social animals, so communication with them in the wild occurs more frequently than it would with other wild animals. Each dolphin has a strong sense of its own individuality and its relationships with other dolphins. They have highly sophisticated communication amongst themselves. We've learned to communicate with them as well; they can understand over 2000 sentences. When we study them in captivity, they come to the observation window and appear to study us as well. Dolphins have a larger brain to body mass ratio than humans, and I believe that they are much more intelligent than humans.
