Dolphins: The Oracles of the Sea
Humans have always found dolphins to be enchanting creatures. Ever since the
days of the first seafarers, they have been the subject of numerous works of art,
literature, and myth. They are among the most intelligent of animals, as some
species have brain-to-body mass ratios equal to that of a human being. They are
also mammals, having evolved from land-faring creatures tens of millions of years
ago. They are known for their extremely gregarious behavior. This site is designed
to be an interactive, educational introduction into the study of these majestic
creatures.
