At Kewalo Basin Marine Laboratory in Hawaii Lou Herman and his team have developed a
sign language to communicate with the dolphins and the results are remarkable Not only do
the dolphins understand the meaning of individual words they also understand the
significance of word order in a sentence For example they generally responded correctly
straight away to the command touch the frisbee with your tail and then jump over it This has
the characteristics of true understanding not rigid training
In the BBC program Wildlife on One Dolphins - Deep Thinkers one of Lou Hermans dolphins
Akeakamai watches David Attenborough on an underwater tv screen No one could predict
how she would react but as soon as David appeared on the screen she responded correctly to
his sign language and even had a go at imitating him
Despite inhabiting a very different world to ourselves dolphins perform brilliantly in our tests
says Lou Herman There is still much to learn about these flexible problem-solvers but from
the evidence so far it seems that dolphins do indeed deserve their reputation for being highly
intelligent BBC nature
