With all respect and fascination to these demonstrations of intelligent behavior, it is you who are clipping a story about a dolphin, and not (as far as we know) a dolphin clipping a story about you. So... it would seem a bit premature to remove our specie from the (presumed) top of the intelligence ladder. Having said this however, it seems that there might be different kinds of intelligence to which we have little access an thus understanding. It is an open philosophical question, whether intelligence can be described compared or qualified in relation to a single abstract scale, or alternatively, different kinds of intelligence cannot be related to a single universal category.

With all respect and fascination to these demonstrations of intelligent behavior, it is you who are clipping a story about a dolphin, and not (as far as we know) a dolphin clipping a story about you. So... it would seem a bit premature to remove our specie from the (presumed) top of the intelligence ladder. Having said this however, it seems that there might be different kinds of intelligence to which we have little access an thus understanding. It is an open philosophical question, whether intelligence can be described compared or qualified in relation to a single abstract scale, or alternatively, different kinds of intelligence cannot be related to a single universal category. In the second case, there might exist an intrinsic barrier of understanding and appreciation between different kinds of intelligence. Of course this question has deep metaphysical/ontological roots. A variant of the same question would be whether or to what extent, intelligence is a common ground among different species which manifest different evolutionary paths, or whether it can even be a common ground between schools of thought within the human specie.
