Whales process all that sound they put out, but it surely can't take that much brain. I heard an interesting theory (on discovery channel of course) that dolphins actually can bulid a 3d model of the target in their head by emitting different frequencies of sound.

 

Something to keep in mind is brain size in proportion to body size. Elephants and whales both have massive bodies, which means they have a lot more nerves and such which their brain has to process. Humans, on the other hand, have a big brain relative to body size, and we have a lot of free neurons that are just sitting around waiting to be used.

 

Maybe whales are under the ocean plotting our demise. Now if they only had opposable thumbs...

I prefer to wait a while and see who has the largest brain relative to body size..... we might get fooled.
