Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping drowning sailors have been common since Roman times.

They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as we do.

Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than man?
