Vicki Stein: 海豚拥有发达的大脑，这与其捕猎策略和高度社会化的生活方式密切相关。作为猎食者，海豚需要运用复杂的策略来寻找、捕捉和智胜猎物。同时，作为高度社会化的动物，海豚的社会互动也需要大量的脑力，这包括复杂的沟通和团队合作。在漫长的进化过程中，更聪明、大脑更大的海豚更有生存优势，能够繁衍更多后代，最终导致现代海豚拥有发达的大脑和复杂的语言能力，以及精巧的捕猎技巧。我们仍在努力研究和理解海豚之间复杂的交流方式以及它们多样的捕猎策略。一些聪明的海豚首先发现了这些策略，并将其传授给后代，最终成为普遍的行为模式。 Captain Smarty Pants: 海豚与人类一样，生活在紧密的家庭群体中。这种社会结构有助于它们捕猎那些单独无法捕捉到的猎物，同时也促进了群体内部的交流与沟通，充分利用它们发达的大脑进行复杂的社会互动。

Dolphins are super cool sea creatures that can swim fast, jump high, and make all kinds of nifty noises. But did you know that they *also *have big complicated brains like humans do? How did they get those big brains, and what do they use them for? We asked science writer Vicky Stein to help us find the answer.

Got a question that’s *FIN-*tastic? Send it to us at BrainsOn.org/contact), and we’ll set out with a great sense of *porpoise *to find the answer!
