Someone just mentioned the tired old myth of the Goldfish's 'three second memory' on another thread about that attention seeking little prick swallowing one.
As this article (and many others on the net) prove - it is quite simply bollocks.
I couldn't look at that thread.
Of course it's bollocks. This is also just another of man's inhumanity as far as I'm concerned. Shove them in a tiny bowl for fun? Resembles their natural habitat... HOW? >:(

He was originally a pet, then got too much for the owner (you can see why!) so presumably he'd be in danger in the wild, as he'd walk straight up to people (remember Mij in Ring of Bright Water? )
This link is crows again. I don't think the crow vending machine from 7 minutes in has been shown in the thread. It's interesting to listen to him from the start. He shows two examples in that part that we've already had on here.

Some horrific stuff out there.>:( The
things I have seen ERGGGGG....I could go on, and on,and on!
But there is some very kind people also...:)
Once a huge raven seemed flightless in my parents garden, he/she hopped off from the table and under the hedge when I approached (perhaps too quickly as it may have been seeking help and I frightened it).
I always feel guilty about that as I swear I could see the pain in his/her eyes.
I just wish I could have grabbed it and called the RSPCA.

Geese and ducks are scarily intelligent. Mine have learned how to gain access to the house by getting one of the cats to open the catflap for them. They had tried to get in before, but the flap is controlled via the cat's microchips and so wouldn't open for the geese. However, they watched, plotted and took notes and realised that if they scare one of the cats it'll run straight towards the flap whereby it'll open and they'll follow it in.
Not only that, but they've also learned to hold it open for their cohorts too.
You ever awoke in the morning to find a couple of geese staring straight at you? It's certainly different.

You're up late
What an amazing little creature. Why is he being kept in captivity?
That whole programme was fascinating. Brains as well as huge kahunas.
Honey badgers are intriguing creatures, that's for sure.
He may be little but Honey Badgers are world famous for being total badasses!

Joshua Klein is such an interesting speaker.
This little animals are exceptionally intelligent - which is not surprising given that their brain is even more massive than ours for their size.

I've never heard of that before. Yes very clever.
