Are Some Pescanguids Sapient?

With the mountains of remarkable behaviours and capabilities of some pescanguids, it’s often left to wonder if there is the presence of a higher thinking within their minds. From surprisingly complex communications to outright domestication and protection of other species, there are three specific pescanguids that have been most commonly observed to present behaviours attributed in the eyes of a human as “person behaviour”. And while this will be exclusively focused on the Arctic Tiko, the Leviathan Hemot, and Azure Tiko, there is no reason not to include other species that still show complex behaviours that may be equivalent, or at least to being nearly equivalent, to that of other known intelligent groups such as chimps, crows, and elephants but such animals would need further study and analysis. A great example of other pescanguids being notably intelligent would be the Paddlefin Dolo which is known to openly communicate with dolo of other species and genera such as the Williamson Dolo and the Paddlesnout Dolo. The behaviours of some Paddlefin fleets with fishermen near the shores of Laguna, Brazil show how coordinated they can be as well as their intelligence in recognising that the fishermen can help aid them in their own hunting endeavours. Other dolo species have been observed using their environment to aid in their day to day life. The Tiger Dolo is a great example as there are multiple accounts of them using smaller fish as bait to bring out larger prey animals such as their behaviour of placing dead fish or crabs in front of holes and caves where moray eels reside to lure them out, and then striking for the kill. This suggests them understanding cause and effect as well as thinking on a larger net gain mindset. While it's easy to pass these behaviours off as merely complex actions to serve the universal necessity of survival, being "sapient" and what defines being such is a wide spectrum with no clear definitive answer. And when classifying organisms who may posses higher self aware thinking minds, there is often an anthropocentric bias towards the idea. This bias will be evident when delving into the three main contendors for what could be defined as "sapient" beings. It is always important for us humans to keep an open mind and consider any possibilities provided that may imply that we are not the only thinking intelligent beings, or "people".
