Wild bottlenose dolphins bond over their use of tools, with distinct cliques
and classes forming over decades as a result of their skills, scientists
have found.
The communities, which have been compared with societies such as the
Bullingdon Club in humans, mean the aquatic animals share their knowledge
only with those in their own circle, passing it down the family line.
This is so cool.
Too bad bottlenose dolphins are jerks.
