- metalbabble, on 02/27/2008, -1/+28one fish, two fish....
- inactive, on 02/27/2008, -3/+18Of course they can count, they went to school!
... oh jesus.. I'm sorry digg.. I think I have OCD because I couldnt not post that. - dogshaft, on 02/27/2008, -1/+15Again?
- BrokenDrum, on 02/27/2008, -0/+11Fish AND animals?
Fish ARE animals. - nekochan, on 02/27/2008, -1/+9and if next we find that they can see in color,
red fish, blue fish. - antdude, on 02/27/2008, -0/+8He didn't evolve from them.
- dinot, on 02/27/2008, -1/+9Fish AND animals? Just like humans and people?
- dhadude, on 02/27/2008, -6/+13Really interesting, maybe a few millenia later, fishes will evolve to some kind of an itelligent creature?
- afJoel105, on 02/27/2008, -2/+6Like Aquaman
- withremote, on 02/27/2008, -0/+4My dog can count how many plates there are to lick clean after dinner.
- nekochan, on 02/27/2008, -1/+4we're suspicious of youtube links with no explanation.
- davdev, on 02/27/2008, -0/+3People always thought I was nuts when I said my dog could count. Everytime he ate he always took a couple pieces of kibble out of his bowl and brought them to the living room. The number of kibble was always the same number of people that were in the living room. It's like he brought it as a gift, although that didn't stop from trying to bite your ass if you tried to pick them up. He always came back after finishing his bowl and ate the ones he left in the living room. Now that we had to move him onto canned food he doesn't do it anymore.
The funniest part is he was one of stupidest animals I have ever met otherwise. - NYankee2003, on 02/27/2008, -0/+3"...if a female mosquito fish is harassed by a male, she will try to avoid his attentions by seeking solace in the largest nearby shoal..." Evidently they can commit sexual harassment too. Send them to a seminar.
- Goldennova, on 02/27/2008, -0/+3This article is not as accurate. They did not take into account fish size. It's known that fish can identify sizes, and since more fish mean bigger sizes, they are wary about approaching that area. The place with only 2 or 3 fish has more room so logically they would go into that area. This article does not, in any way whatsoever, mean that fish can count.
- 0crabby0, on 02/27/2008, -3/+5The fish calculator new from HP

- Icupnimpn2, on 02/27/2008, -0/+2Did you hear the one about the creationist that accidentally married a fish because he ran out of ways that humans are superior, or even different?
- gotterdammerung, on 02/27/2008, -1/+3I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
- ricercia, on 04/21/2008, -1/+3Four might not sound like much, but it's more than Bush can count to! :-P
- inactive, on 02/27/2008, -2/+4Animals are a lot smarter than we think, i got my cat as a kitten and when she started growing she never made meows or typical cat noises but developed this noise she made from here throat, not a purr but like a really loud and fast one that sometimes sounded like a loud hiccup. She always used it when she wants me to follow her around the house to her food bowl, ive asked other cat owners and they have said they never seen this before, when my mum calls out my name in the morning to wake me up she knows who it is from the family and jumps on my bed and sniffs my face.
- jdbeast00, on 02/27/2008, -0/+2How does swimming to a group of other fish equate to counting? This just means that fish can tell apart big stuff from little stuff. Big whoop.
- j3one, on 02/27/2008, -1/+3Case and point....
- venson, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1I've thought this for years as I've been documenting fish behavior as a hobby. Check out my videos out if you want: http://blip.tv/file/660173 (warning, personal link). Fish are quite a bit smarter than we give them credit for. They taste good too.
- RSS14, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1In Soviet Russia...

WTF?
But... Will it blend?
Will YOU blend?

http://jewelrydiamondrings.org - duggreen, on 02/27/2008, -1/+2The old saw, "as smart as humans at____", represents a bygone era in animal behavior. We've run out of ways that humans are superior, or even different, and are now looking at ways that animals out perform humans at various thinking tasks. Creationists are very unhappy.....
- klipseracer, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1This is a waste of money, IMO. If you saw a few people standing on your left. And a mob on your right. Do you REALLY need to count to know which is the bigger group? Fish also have electro sensory perception, and they could be judging off of the electrical output.
- MacEnvy, on 02/27/2008, -1/+2Well, they did have a common ancestor. Just like every other human.
- mahdaeng, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1Sure, because they're so much smarter now than they were a few millenia ago.
- JayBabs, on 02/27/2008, -1/+2Thank you for that.
- borez, on 02/27/2008, -1/+2Big fish little fish cardboard box
- antdude, on 02/27/2008, -1/+2He can only do simple counting. :P
- JayBabs, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1Saddle up sea biscuit!
- cawpin, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1I'm guessing that's all cmuwriter took in college, counting.
- stutimandal, on 02/27/2008, -1/+2Anyone among you remembers counting between 6 months and 12 months of age? The article says "numerical abilities of infants between 6 months and 12 months"...
- dmallymally, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1Right... we are so similar to fish and other animals that it's almost hard to distinguish the two now. I guess since fish can tell larger groups of fish from smaller ones that evolution is true. You're really digging deep to defend your theory now.
- rand0mm0nkey, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1The song of the Count:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=6AXPnH0C9UA - inactive, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1its the pinball number count.. sorry for no explanation.
- jamesdew, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1and you can't spell
- mike23w, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1* an experimental psychologist at the university of Padua in Italy said: "We have provided the first evidence that fish exhibit rudimentary mathematical abilities."
Those Italian psychologists are sure doing some difficult research... - kleptomaniac, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1Do you remember anything from when you were 6 to 12 months of age?
- duggreen, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1Congratulations, you understood at least 82% of my post!
- dinot, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1I concede that point.
- TheKeithD, on 02/27/2008, -1/+2Okay, so they were wrong about global cooling, and now are wrong about global warming.
This must mean the earth is staying the same temperature then. - n3xu5, on 02/27/2008, -0/+1Fish can count or can they just tell when something is bigger?
- inactive, on 02/27/2008, -2/+2I'd like to add to this articale that fish can't count...really, they can't.
- TheKeithD, on 02/27/2008, -1/+1Well, that's not entirely accurate. Fish are a type of animal. I'm pretty sure humans are not a type of person, but rather another name for a person.
- inactive, on 02/27/2008, -1/+1No im a cat man and yes i do go outside, probably more than your so stfu
