505 0  The second most intelligent creature on Earth -- What big 
       brains you have -- Cogito ergo delphinus sum -- The proof 
       of the pudding is in the behaving -- Dolphinese -- A most 
       gentle mammal -- The deconstructed dolphin. 
520    How intelligent are dolphins? 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.
