Copycat Dolphins

A study done at the Dolphin Research Center in the Florida Keys says although imitation is rare in the animal kingdom, dolphins can imitate one another while blindfolded by using sound.
Like bats, dolphins use a form of sonar called echolocation to see sound patterns. It’s their keenest sense.
The purpose of this research is conservation. biologists believe that the more intelligent dolphins appear, the more people will care about them. That will prompt conservation efforts.
