Dolphins are extraordinarily intelligent animals who also display culture, something which was long-believed to be unique to humans (although now recognised in various species). Dolphins are altruistic animals. They are known to stay and help injured individuals, even helping them to the surface to breath. Dolphins emit ultrasound and use echo-location (a kind of sonar) to find their way around and to detect the presence of obstacles or shoals of fish.
