    Certain species of whales may be among the most intelligent species on the planet. For one thing, they aren't responsible for global warming but are perfectly placed to take advantage of it. Second, they exist nearly perfectly at the top of their respective food chains, as in nothing eats them (apart from the occasional Japanese that is.) Third, they spend a good portion of their time goofing around (as in they don't have to put in hours a day in an office cube.)
