Dolphins learn names of their own body parts

There is a chapter about research with these and other dolphins in this book, which is on reserve at the library:
Herman, L. M. (2002). Exploring the cognitive world of the bottlenosed dolphin. In M. Bekoff, C. Allen & G. Burghardt (Eds.) The cognitive animal: Empirical and theoretical perspectives on animal cognition. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.

Article (full text): Generalization of ‘same – different’ classification abilities in bottlenosed dolphins

Note: Unfortunately, Akiakamai and Phonex died recently. They were both over 25 years old, but there has been some controversy about their deaths.
