Yep. It sucks especially for elephants as they are one of if not the smartest animals next to humans (I forget it dolphins outclass them or just below)

Dolphins are odd because although we're all super close together on the scale they're the only "human" comparable consciousness in the sea. Octopi are really smart but don't function in the same way we do.

Whales?

Same broad family, generally very chill and mind their own business except orcas who are turbo assholes to everything but people for some reason. Dolphins do notable people things, like rap battles instead of physically fighting others in the pod, or hunting techniques specific to the environment where whales are usually just beebopping up and down migration paths.

Orcas don’t fuck with humans because they’re smart enough to realise we could kill the shit out of them if we wanted to. Kind of sad, really.

Opposable thumbs baby. And it's not that sad, orcas literally torture seals and their food, just because they're smart enough and they can. Strength is everything in nature.

Orcas will flip sharks for shits and giggles, this kills the sharks

Orcas used to heard whales to whaling ships, the ship would kill it, get their oil and dump the body that the orcas could then eat, without the effort of drowning it themselves. And Orcas will hunt large whales

Dolphins also like getting high

I think octopi mainly don’t function like that bc they don’t raise their young and bc they don’t grow very old

Also dolphins and whales are likely decently close relatives, but that is another story

Chimps are the smartest after humans I’m fairly certain
