Cetacean Intelligence Essay on PLoS Biology

2007/05/162007/05/16 Wesley R. Elsberry

My colleague Lori Marino and a who’s-who of cetacean behavior experts
have published an

They take up Paul Manger’s claims that cetacean brains grew simply for
heat regulation reasons and explain why Manger’s idea does not fit the
facts.
