Even though dolphins are sea creatures, they are not fish. They are mammals and have more in common with people than most of us realize.


The journal Mathematics and Physics explains how dolphins have real conversations. Dolphins have their own spoken language and distinct voices like humans do. Dolphins also have names that can be identified through their whistles. A scientific study from 2013 says that dolphins respond to the sound of their own name. The way that dolphins breathe is also similar to humans because they breathe through their lungs. Additionally, dolphins are fun to watch as they swim through the ocean. Dolphins may look very different from humans but they have a lot in common with us.

- Dolphins have lots in common with humans. (Supported — the passage cites shared traits like breathing through lungs and similar vocal behaviors.)
- Dolphins are able to communicate with each other. (Supported — the passage cites a journal and a 2013 study about whistles, names, and conversations.)

The other two are not supported (the "fun to watch" line is an opinion, and nothing claims dolphins are more intelligent than humans).
