海豚可能是位“数学天才”.2012年的一项研究表明,海豚捕猎时可能使用了复杂的非线性数学原理.科学家使用研究模型,发现了海豚释放的回波定位脉冲的类型.研究结果证实,它们使用了非线性数学运算,而不是简单的声纳回波处理方式.当然,海豚并非动物王国中唯一的“数学家”.鸽子具有惊人的数值理解能力.人们或许难以相信鸽子会擅长于数值理解,但最新的一项研究显示,鸽子与灵长类动物具有相似的数值理解本领.鸽 A dolphin may be a “genius of mathematics.” A 2012 study shows that complex non-linear mathematical principles may have been used for dolphin hunting, and scientists used research models to find out the types of echolocation pulses released by dolphins. The results confirm that they use non-linear math instead of simple sonar echo processing, and of course the dolphin is not the only “mathematician” in the animal kingdom. The pigeons have incredible numerical comprehension. Doves are good at numerical comprehension, but a recent study shows that pigeons have similar numerical comprehension skills to primates.
