What are the arguments among scientists about the intelligence of dolphins?

The intelligence of dolphins is also a controversial topic among scientists. In the aquarium, dolphins can make all kinds of wonderful jumps according to the instructions of the animal trainer, and it seems that they can understand the information transmitted by human beings and take action. Many people firmly believe that dolphins are smarter than any kind of apes, and some even think that their intelligence is comparable to that of humans.

According to the observation of the behavior of wild dolphins and the communication with humans when dolphins perform acrobatics, it is inferred that dolphins have strong adaptability and learning ability. But at present, it is impossible to prove that dolphins use language or symbols for abstract thinking.

However, even without scientific conclusive evidence, it cannot be considered that dolphins have no abstract thinking ability. If dolphins really have the ability of abstract thinking, how does it use this ability? To what extent?

These questions are very interesting. But it is not easy to find the answers to these questions now, because even the wisdom possessed by human beings is still unknown.

Although dolphins, like humans, belong to mammals, due to different living environments, there are not many opportunities for mutual contact, so human understanding of the potential ability of dolphins is very limited. The mystery of dolphins seems to be unable to get a satisfactory answer.
