I found a link about dolphins that appear to be entertaining themselves
by creating works of “art”. I found it amazing.
And, like so many other artists, they make it look so easy.
Thought that it would be a nice thing to share.
That is interesting thanks for sharing it, I posted it on the Fortean Times news site.
Some chimps and elephants in captivity paint and dolphins are definitely at least as smart as elephants and possibly as much as chimps so the fact they create art doesn’t surprise me but the way they do it is just fascinating. I wish there were more pictures the one they show is just so delicate and pretty. Humans don’t have the monopoly on creativity we just have the advantage of opposable digits.
I remember watching a documentary on Dolphins and their various creative endeavours. Not only do they create just for the sake of doing it, they directly pass on the knowledge through teaching (as opposed to learning by example).
