Is their communication system really as complex as human language? And are they as friendly and peaceful as they are made out to be? The Western world has had an enduring love affair with dolphins since the early 1960s, with fanciful claims of their 'healing powers' and 'super intelligence'. Myths and pseudoscience abound on the subject. Justin Gregg weighs up the claims made about dolphin intelligence and separates scientific fact from fiction. He puts our knowledge about dolphin behaviour and intelligence into perspective, with comparisons to scientific studies of other animals, especially the crow family and great apes. He gives fascinating accounts of the challenges of testing what an animal with flippers and no facial expressions might be animal behaviour, Gregg challenges many of the widespread beliefs about dolphins, while also inspiring the reader with the remarkable abilities common to many of the less glamorized animals around us - such as chickens. 588 0 Online resource; title from e-book title screen (EBL platform, viewed April 22, 2015). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Dolphins|xBehavior|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2010000374|vPopular works.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001720 650 0 Dolphins|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85038890|xPsychology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002011487|vPopular works.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001720 650 0 Animal intelligence|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85005202|vPopular works.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001720 650 0 Cognition in animals|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85027748|vPopular works.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001720 650 0 Dolphins|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85038890|vPopular works.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh99001720 650 7 Dolphins|xBehavior.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 896503 650 7 Dolphins|xPsychology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 896512 650 7 Dolphins.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/896501 650 7 Animal intelligence.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 809280 650 7 Cognition in animals.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 866500 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Popular works.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423846 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGregg, Justin.|tAre Dolphins Really Smart?|dOxford : OUP Oxford, 2013|z9780199660452 |z9780199681563|w(DLC) 2013444351|w(OCoLC)830367885 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=612461|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
