We tend to credit animals like cats and dogs with a certain degree of mental complexity. But fish aren’t usually afforded that kind of praise.
“They do not talk, they do not bark,” says Caio Maximino, a neuroscientist at the Federal University of the South and Southeast Pará in Brazil. “We usually think, ‘Well, these are very simple-minded animals. They are like little robots that do not do much.’”
But personally, Maximino doesn’t believe that. “Those animals, they have very rich behavior that is mediated by these internal, emotional-like states,” he says.
Previous research has largely focused on the negative experiences of fish that are driven by fear, anxiety and discomfort. “It has been demonstrated that they feel pain, for example,” says Marta Soares, a behavioral physiologist at the University of Porto in Portugal. “And that was a huge step, actually.”
Dolphins are mammals hombre. They crawled back in the water and evolved their legs away.
Mammals are a kind of fish though. They eat fish just like fish do
Nah dog, your understanding of biology is all fucked up
They evolved from fish and evolved back into fish. And they eat fish. You are what you eat. Sounds like a fish to me
