I know several people I think this applies to as well…

If you believe that memory is the ability to contain ‘memories’ information (like that we get from our senses) one would realize that they fish do indeed have a longer memory span… I know for a fact that our fish at home (tropical fish… but they are the small kind) know that the food comes from an hand that does up near the top of the tank, and thus swim to the top of the tank read to get the food they know must be coming, however this is not alway the case (look up Pavlo’s Dog)(ie sometimes we are just pointing at them they are and they don’t get the food).

Well the Starfish one is correct. I found it at: http://www.faculty.washington.edu/chudler/invert.html

On the Hedgehog I found 190 beats a minute at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/wildfacts/factfiles/193.shtml

Somebody else can check the rest!

Jamie,

You are absolutely correct. On my other little trivia pages I normally put that I haven’t researched them thouroughly or anything, so they shouldn’t actually be relied upon as fact. I forgot to put it on this one, so thanks for reminding me! :-)

Oh, and Mythbusters kicks ass!!!

You’ll probably find a few of those are myths. MythBusters is a fantastic program, and claims to have shown a ducks quack does echo, and a goldfish has a memory span of much more than three seconds. :-D
