According to some TV shows I've seen anyway some apes (Chimps maybe? But some others too... remember Koko the gorilla...) are as smart as young children. Remember they can learn several hundred words (I think) in sign language... but at some point, they can't learn any more. Like us but at a far lower level... that's all any animal is...
As for dolphins, they are obviously also smart but I think exactly how smart is contraversial... of course the fact that they are in the oceans sure doesn't help that much.
