I also like them in the ocean. "Whale safari" is a popular tourist attraction here since whales are so bountiful. I also like them on my plate, because they taste good. Just like with other families of species the different whale species range from cows to monkeys in intelligence. While the bottlenose dolphin reaches 4.14 on the encephalization quotient, the franciscana dolphin only scores 1.67. Dogs register at 1.17, and most of the larger whales are dumber than that. Humans clock in at 7.4 to 7.8.
