To add to this, Orcas attacking boats off the Orcades

Orca fashion is also a thing, with salmon hats and the likes.

> Dolphin pods have different cultures and passed on hunting techniques also

Dolphins also use sexual coercion (amongst humans, we would call it rape) and the behavior is violent. Dolphins also commit infanticide.

True, but also sort of unrelated to the topic at hand. (?)

This is a true but very weird thing to bring into the thread.

Humans create and pass along culture, but we also have the capacity for reasoning about ethics, justice, etc. When we say animals are also very intelligent etc. with a couple of examples, it is worth contextualizing the edges or shortcomings of the intelligence on the gradient.

Zooming out and looking down on the intelligence spectrum, we have to be humble and concede that we, too, while far superior to other living creatures we have encountered so far, probably also lack some dimensions that even higher intelligence would unlock.
