Opposing thumbs makes us believe we are the only intelligent species on the planet. Whales, beluga in particular, have a massive brain. They are highly intelligent, and have the full spectrum of emotions any human will have. They have complicated language, and for all we know they might be philosophizing, have spirituality and very complex thoughts.
