E32: Do animals think?
 Whales-online speaks with Dr Clive Wynne, Associate Professor at the University of Florida about the interesting subject of how humans perceive the intelligence of animals.
Clive explains to whales-online that his research seeks to sweep all the debris of traditional views of animals, now mixed up with mauled science, right off the table and start again. In so doing he describes some of the many myths about animal minds, without detracting from the wonders of the natural world.
