Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them
helping drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn
about dolphins, the more we realize that their society is more complex than people
previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for
pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community as we do. Some scientists
have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more probable that they
communicate with each other without needing words. Could any of these mammals be
more intelligent than man? Certainly the most common argument in favor of man's
superiority over them that we can kill them more easily than they can kill us is the
 least satisfactory on the contrary the more we discover about these remarkable
creatures, the less we appear superior when we destroy them.

Penguins are a group of aquatic flightless birds living almost exclusively in the
southern hemisphere, especially in Antarctica. Highly adapted for life in the water,
penguins have counter shaded dark and white plumage, and their wings have evolved
into flippers. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid, and other forms of sea life
caught while swimming underwater. They spend about half of their lives on land and
half in the oceans.

1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) tall and weigh 35 kg (75 lb) or more. The smallest penguin species is

species attained enormous sizes, becoming as tall or as heavy as an adult human.
