Humans are the world's most intelligent species, with dolphins following in second place. A special series by BBC on January 2, 2014, "Spy in the Pod," have discovered all kinds of interesting behavior by the dolphins.
Scientists found similarities in the brains of humans and dolphins, which may be why humans and dolphins not only enjoy drugs but deliberately seek them out for a relaxing high. Over the years, scientists have found another similarity in humans and dolphins, in addition to their intelligence. Both species seem to understood who they are in relation to their surroundings. These abilities have been passed onto others in their generations. According to Raw Story, BBC documented over 900 hours of activity between the puffer fish and dolphins. It was found that the intelligence of the dolphins let them them how much of the puffer fish toxin could safely intoxicate them. One puffer fish was shared by several dolphins, with the toxin released in smaller doses to cause narcotic effects. Large doses that were released could be deadly --- in people or dolphins. BBC One documentary series, Dolphins: Spy in the Pod, will be shown this coming Thursday, January 2, 2014, at 8:00 pm. “It reminded us of that craze a few years ago when people started licking toads to get a buzz, especially the way they hung there in a daze afterwards,” said Rob Pilley, a zoologist who worked as a producer for the series “It was the most extraordinary thing to see.”
