Answer the question below based on the factual report

For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were the chimpanzees.
Now, however, there is a proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than these big apes.

Although a dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways,
therefore, like a human being.

Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible for
man to learn how to talk to dolphins. But, this will not be easy because dolphins cannot hear
the kind of sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will have to
make a third language which both he and the dolphins can understand.

about dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters.
