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.
