520    Whales, dolphins, and porpoises are the smartest creatures
       in the sea. We know of their self-recognition, complex 
       songs, their intricate societies and their ability to 
       relate to humans. But how do we know just how intelligent 
       these creatures are? And what is the extent of our 
       knowledge? This insightful scientific study brings 
       together the top researchers in this field to explain 
       their findings in a straightforward and accessible way 
       that requires no prior knowledge. Examining cetacean 
       brains and comparing intelligence markers with birds, bats,
       primates, this study showcases the extraordinary behaviors
       of marine mammals and explains what they reveal about 
       intelligence. Featuring beautiful photographs, clear 
       explanatory graphics, and lively, engaging text, Deep 
       Thinkers is a truly comprehensive exploration that will 
       set the benchmark for future titles on this topic
