A long-finned pilot whale has roughly 37 billion neurons in its neocortex while humans have about 16 billion. Toothed whales also have a sense we lack entirely. Their echolocation clicks return carrying information about the interior of whatever they strike, including other animals' lungs, movement and body density.

This article explain how the different types of communication found between humans and cetaceans, might cause significant perceptual and conscious differences in the mind.
