Dogs have specifically been breeding to perform these tasks, while dolphins just can do it "out of the box". Also i suspect killer whales would out do dolphins in many tasks, especially those requiring social intelligence and language. Maybe elephants wouldn't do much worse either, but they were probably too difficult to study because of their size.
- Aaronneyer 12y agoDogs have been bred to perform these tasks, but they've also evolved to become dependent on humans. If humans had never entered the situation, who knows where the intelligence of other animals would be.
- seanflyon 12y agoI think wolves and foxes give us a good picture of what dogs would be like without human intervention.
