Dolphins are seen as the second most intelligent animal (closely tied with great apes) for several reasons. First, their brain size to body size ratio is higher than great apes. Second, they possess a unique ability to recognize their own reflections, communicate with signs, and have intercourse for pleasure rather than solely procreation.
