Another nail in the coffin for the erroneous belief that humankind stands, somehow, apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. BTW dolphins also share, on occasion, some of more uglier behavioural habits of homo-sapiens, too.

OMFG. NOWAI.Dolphins Name Themselves With WhistlesWhat's more, the marine mammals can recognize individual names even when the sound is produced by an unfamiliar voice...11!!!!11one1!Bleh, I hate dolphins. Why does everyone love them? The damnable creatures are everywhere. I don't like them. I don't care about them, or their whistles, or their names. In fact, I don't think they're that smart. They're fish. [Yes, I know they're mammals, but they're... FISH!!]. They're so annoying and they're trying too damn hard. Boot-lickers. What's quite interesting and surprising at the same time is, this moment I'm typing this, I'm actually worried about what people will say. :/ How pathetic is that? I write a comment on America being fascist or on how Kissinger was a monster, and I don't care. But I talk badly of dolphins and suddenly I'm in fear of my life. [Well, not life as in, LIFE, but life on SU in general, the turmoil, the gossip, the uproar, the blah]. But yeah, dolphins suck. Nyeah nyeah.

From my good friend Zim Zalabim: Dolphins give themselves "names"--distinctive whistles that they use to identify each other, new research shows.
