1. And actually, the first one

although not as "beautiful" as the others, is my favorite because it really brings out the personality in them.

2. Dolphins have bigger brain to body mass of any creature on the planet.

While most of us outside the scientific realm know that dolphins do communicate with each other and they’re one of the most playful animals in the universe, we’ve never been exposed to the intricacies of the dolphin’s brain. Consequently, you may surprised to know that the dolphin brain is actually much larger than the human brain. Dolphins have two hemispheres just like humans however, theirs are split into four lobes instead of three. The fourth lobe in the dolphin’s brain actually hosts all of the senses, whereas in a human, the senses are split. Some believe that having all of the senses in one lobe allow the dolphin to make immediate and often complicated judgments that are well beyond the scope of a human ability.

I wish I could communicate with them and teach them to use a telescope.
