What about Dolphins? Comparable intelligence.

It's interesting to note that Cyclops' quotes contradict each other.

we may note that crossover, shall we say, between the races of your third-density beings, this including those known as dolphins and some forms of those called whales, has been very minimal

That does not match the story of an Atlantean man/dolphin hybrid that was given in a recent channeling (also quoted above).

I don't mention this as criticism, but as a reminder that conscious channeling is more like inspired writing than anything else. The Q'uo channelings are awesome, but they do contain contradictions.
