well, they aren't polluting the Earth, so in many many ways, they are definitely smarter than us

True. IMO, a lot of animals have connections with humans. It's just, sometimes, we are too stupid to see, nurture, or reciprocate those connections. Dolphins are definitely the most independent of the non-human intelligent species, and they are probably most similar to us in spirit. It's really sad that we are so smart when it comes to developing medicines, building cities reaching towards the skies, etc, but things like this still happen:

^^ basically a documentary about how the garbage we are dumping into the oceans is killing countless creatures everyday as they eat the plastic and explode/die from the inside out.
Our garbage has also killed countless other marine creatures including dolphins and even sperm whales.
