extreme precision
Bottlenose dolphins are able to work together as a team with 'extreme precision'
New research suggests dolphins are even smarter than first thought and can coordinate their behaviour with one another with'extreme precision'. In a new experiment, bottlenose dolphins had to press an underwater button at the same time as their partner. Scientists found they could synchronise their actions almost perfectly. The marine mammals were working so closely they pressed the button within an average of 370 milliseconds of their partner doing the same. Pictured is a triple synchronous dive by a trio of male bottlenose dolphins.
