"Dolphins aren't as clever as you think"

University of Witwatersrand (South Africa), 2006. A group of researcher made a research to measure the chemicals and dimensions of dolphins' brain. We always think that dolphins was clever because of their action in water. We also know that dolphin have a large brain, and expect it was a clever mammals. So, right now I want to change your mind about the fact of dolphins.
For sure, a dolphin's have large brain maybe due to the surrounding environment, rather than intelligence. For your information, when researcher examining their brains, it appears that dolphin may not have enough neurons, which are used to garner and collect knowledge. However, even if they're not as smart as Flipper, they 're still happy. It is because the scientist found large amount of serotonin, described by lead researcher Paul Manger as 'the happy drug'.
So, after your read this article, are you still with your mind that dolphin as clever as people told?
Don't be like dolphin that just had a large brain but not clever as it suppose to be!!

dolphins are smart! they recognize symbols and visual and audio commands, learn much than any primate, communicate to themselves in a complex language of clicks and whistles and body language, understand how to use tools to achieve a goal or complete a task, cooperatively hunt and protect each other, have advanced and long-term social bonds, and memories as good as an elephants. who ever thinks dolphins aren't smart, is the one who isn't smart.
