1 Dolphins have become a popular attraction at zoos in 
recent years. They are more interesting than lions and 
tigers because they are livelier and perform tricks, like 
circus animals. But although they are more willing to 
5 cooperate with the trainer than other mammals in 
captivity, they get bored if they are asked to do the 
same trick twice. This is one reason for believing that 
they are very intelligent.
