There is actually emerging evidence suggesting that dolphins are sapient as well.

Biologically yes, mentally NO. Calling a human an animal is like
calling a computer a calculator. And there is a difference between
being sentient and sapient. Sentient means capable of complex
feelings, like the great apes. Sapient means capable of complex
thoughts. Humans are not only sentient, but are also the only
organisms on Earth that are sapient too.
