Blue Whales: Smarter Than You
If you were to step past a worm on the sidewalk would the worm even know what you are or even that you stepped right past it? The idea is to first: prepare your mind to understand what I’m about to share; and second to show that it is very possible for a more intelligent species to be hidden right beneath our noses. If the blue whale has the ability to feel more, love more and understand one another better than humans can; one could only wonder what else they can do better than us. There is still so much we do not know about the blue whales brains. Our theory on why their brains are so large is so it can control a large body; what if the truth is that a blue whale can have deeper thoughts than people? Blue whales may possibly be able to comprehend more than what we think.
The intelligence of a dog is based on its ability to follow orders; the intelligence of a person is also often based on their ability to follow orders. The word “intelligence”
Spindle cells are the cells that are in control of emotion regulation. These cells are most commonly found in the parts of the whale’s brain that regulates social organization, empathy, speech, intuition, and what is considered your “gut feeling”. (Knight, Renee) The cells are also found in other parts of the brain, the scientific reason for why the blue whale has developed these excess cells is unknown. This is an example of how little we know about blue whales. A very good example of how complex the whale’s brains are is their ability to communicate with auditory images. Humans are able to describe an image that they are seeing but blue whales take this a step further by just “speaking the picture”.(Msu.edu) The whale hearing these auditory images can envision exactly what image or thought the sending whale is able to portray. This ability seems to be right on the boarder of reading minds. (One Green
