Fish smarter than dogs
Fish are much smarter and brainier than dogs when it comes to learning things, claim scientists from Oxford University.
The scientists conducted an aquatic obstacle course, and found that the blind Mexican cave fish memorized the challenges in just a few hours and remembered them even several months later. They said that the tasks accomplished by fish would have certainly left other pets like hamsters and dogs absolutely baffled.
"The public perception of fish is that they are pea-brained numbskulls who can't remember things for more than a few seconds. We're now finding that they are very capable of learning and remembering, and possess a range of mental skills that would surprise many people," said Dr. Theresa Burt de Perera.
