From today’s Social Studies section in the Globe and Mail:
"If a team of Scottish marine biologists are to be believed . . . dolphins are not to be trusted," writes Bruno Maddox in Discover magazine.
"They gossip. We know this because we know their names. Each bottlenose individual identifies itself by a unique pattern of whistles and clicks . . . What was not known until the Scottish research, however, is that a pair of dolphins use the name of a third dolphin when that third dolphin isn’t present. In other words, dolphins gossip."
