what evidence from the text supports the author’s claim about the intelligence of dolphins? evaluate whether this evidence is sufficient to support the author’s claims.

what is it about dolphins? they have very, very big brains, and that makes us humans, whose brains are nothing to sniff at, nervous. we don’t know what to make of them.

the latest example: on may 17 in india, the ministry of environment and forests issued an order to all indian states banning dolphin amusement parks. no leaping out of pools to catch balls, no jumping through hoops. forcing dolphins to entertain humans, the ministry said, was morally unacceptable.

“cetaceans [dolphins, whales and porpoises] in general are highly intelligent and sensitive,” the ministry said, “and various scientists who have researched dolphin behavior have suggested that [they have] unusually high compared to other animals.”

this means the indian ministry went on: “those dolphins should be seen as ‘non-human persons’ and as such should have their specific rights.” “non-human persons” — what a pregnant phrase! people-like, but not like people.

india’s putting dolphins (and the other cetaceans) into a new legal category that classifies them as beings nearer to ourselves, with an emotional life that, if we could talk to them, or listen in to whatever they’re saying, we might find familiar. i’m thinking of the famous new yorker cartoon that shows two dolphins swimming side-by-side, where one of them says to another, “if i could do only one thing before i died, it would be to swim with a middle-aged couple from connecticut.” (which you can see here.)

you may giggle, but the joke hurts. big-brained animals almost certainly wouldn’t want to spend years lugging polyester-skinned mammals across shallow swimming pools six days a week, or juggling colorful balls with their rostrums (noses). their brains suggest they’ve got better things to do. what, we’re not sure. all we know is, being a dolphin has to be very different from being a person, an experience we can only guess at.

and yet, because of those brains, it’s hard not to slip into thinking of them as if they were variants of us. this happened to me, instantly, last year, when i read that the u. s. navy had decided to “retire” a group of mine-detecting dolphins, replacing them with robots.

twenty-four dolphins, after years of service, were being “reassigned,” the story said so that sea drones or unmanned underwater vehicles (uuvs, in navy parlance) could take their place. the navy had its reasons. the robots didn’t need constant feeding, medical attention, cages and rest. they didn’t need seven years of training. robots could do the job on day one for less — much less. so the dolphins got sacked.

and i thought, what? and, instantly, each of those dolphins became a norma rae, fists (fins? ) clenched, crying “unfair! ” after giving their whole careers to the navy, sniffing for underwater mines to protect our ships and harbors, this is the they get? that, of course, was my mind shouting; what the dolphins were thinking, if they even noticed the change, is anybody’s guess.

which is the puzzle? the deep puzzle.

Explanation:

That dolphins are the smartest and most intellgent

1. Nearly 40 species of dolphins swim the waters of the world. Most live in shallow areas of tropical and temperate oceans, and five species live in rivers.

2. Dolphins are carnivores. Fish, squid and crustaceans are included in their list of prey. A 260-pound dolphin eats about 33 pounds of fish a day.

3. Known for their playful behavior, dolphins are highly intelligent. They are as smart as apes, and the evolution of their larger brains is surprisingly similar to humans.

4. Dolphins are part of the family of whales that includes orcas and pilot whales. Killer whales are actually dolphins.

5. Dolphins are very social, living in groups that hunt and even play together. Large pods of dolphins can have 1,000 members or more.

explanation:

throughout the ancient epic of gilgamesh, the protagonist, gilgamesh of course, exhibited many character traits that made him a true epic hero. one great trait that gilgamesh acquires of an epic hero is that he's a courageous and confident leader. in the text enkidu is too afraid to fight, but he's positive that gilgamesh has the ability to triumph against humbaba. gilgamesh tells enkidu to not be afraid and then continues on to remind him of all the victories he's had against similar foe. gilgamesh proves that he's confident by encouraging enkidu and shows he's courageous when enkidu ask gilgamesh to battle humbaba alone because he knows that gilgamesh will reign victorious.

another characteristic that makes gilgamesh an epic hero is that he's brave and takes risks. "dread surged through gilgamesh, terror flooded his muscles, his heart froze, his mouth went dry, his legs shook, his feet were rooted to the ground. / gilgamesh felt his courage return. they charged at humbaba like two wild bulls." when reading the first part of the quote you see that gilgamesh is terrified of humbaba, and realizing that humbaba is the antagonist he's about to battle is taking a big risk. gilgamesh soon shows how brave he is by not letting his fear of humbaba overtake him, instead he went charging into the face of fear and triumphs.
