    Interesting! Koi can live 200 years? I guess Archie Bunkers joke about goldfish doesn’t apply to them.

    a couple are not true… goldfish have been found to have much better memories than previously thought.. a girl stunned the scientific world when she not only trained her goldfish to swim through a maze, but it also showed a new goldfish how to swim through the maze to find food… I saw this about a year ago, it was fascinating (my father is a fish professor) you can look this up, I know its on-line

    also dogs, horses and other animals can get sunburnt too, its not uncommon to see their little noses sunburnt, especially on white animals with pink skin.

    very weird about lions hearts!

    wonder why porcupines float, kinda freaky… usually I just see them dead on the road, floating isnt such a good defense against traffic.
