'There are similarities between dolphin and great ape societies that
have led scientists to believe that dolphins should be capable of
horizontal learning.
"Despite their divergent evolutionary histories and the fact they occupy
such different environments: both dolphins and great apes are
long-lived, large-brained mammals with high capacities for innovation
and the cultural transmission of behaviours." Krützen said.
Previous studies on whether dolphins can learn from their friends have
been promising, but inconclusive. Now a team of researchers led by
behavioural ecologist Sonja Wild of the University of Konstanz in
Germany has finally identified it.'
