Dolphins 'have their own names'

I -really- don't know what effect knowing such things would have on the idea that we are somehow above every other animal, but http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/4750471.stm right here claims that people have discovered that dolphins have in a sense 'names' for each other.
If at least one person didn?t read that already, I guess it was worth my time. Smiling

Sorry if I got this in the wrong forum.

I'll get back to you when I think of something worthwhile to say.

"The findings are published in the US journal the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). "

I hear it's pronounced pee-noss

Laughing out loud

I always thought that if you want to change the world then you have to start with yourself. So if the heads of state want to end terrorism, they should go ahead and kill themselves. - Anti-Flag
