Dolphins - Deep Thinkers

In the BBC programme Wildlife on One: Dolphins - Deep Thinkers?, one of Lou Herman's dolphins, Akeakamai, watches David Attenborough on an underwater tv screen. No one could predict how she would react, but as soon as David appeared on the screen, she responded correctly to his sign language, and even had a go at imitating him. -- Source BBC.

Enjoy this BBC documentary, total runtime 28 minutes.

Have a great Sunday everyone!
