I love reading about smart animals. I believe many animals, even the ones we know are intelligent, are smarter then we believe. Take for instance http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2003/jul/03/research.science Kelly the dolphin. I am trully humbled when animals are smarter then their caretakers.

Quote from: "The Guardian"After mastering this lucrative strategy, she taught her calf, who taught other calves, and so gull-baiting has become a hot game among the dolphins.

From wikipedia.com entry on "culture:
Quote from: "wikipedia"...an integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning...

Maybe the word "human" should be replaced.

Um... unless an admin put that ad up I don't know why it's there and I'm slightly worried about it.
