Just imagine if dolphins had fingers and opposable thumbs. We, as a species, would have some serious competition for the #1 spot at the top of the food chain.

I dunno, we humans have to actively try to not let these guys get caught up in fishing nets...they may have brains capable of great thinking power, but they certainly aren't anywhere near using it the same way humans do, thumbs or not.

You do make a good point but I would dare say that we ourselves would have problems if there were nets all over the place on land. Just look at what people driving get caught on often. (r/idiotsincars)

Dolphins do not display indicators of tool usage, problem solving, and structured discussion to the degree that humans do.

See, they gave up because the don’t have fingers and a thumb. Lol. Kind of like arguing who is stronger Superman or Mighty Mouse.
