Cuddlefish? Doesn’t look very cuddly to me.

Thanks.

I must say that this last statement:

“Jozet-Alves agrees. “Everyone who had the chance to work with cuttlefish have seen how amazing and fascinating they are,” she says. “At the same time, working with them is a real challenge to your patience. They are so shy that just making a cuttlefish eat in front of you can take sometimes days or even weeks. But once a cuttlefish gives you its trust, you just enjoy working with them and totally forget the hours waiting that they move out of their shelter!””

Causes the entire experimental set up to be questionable, at least in terms of natural behavior.

The inclusion of Tulving is superfluous and is added only to make some sort of point that is a huge stretch.

As far as the activity observed, that is pretty much the only behavior animals have. The lower, the more so.

I appreciate your posting this and appreciate experiments such as these, but feel ultimately the researchers are not fully cognizant of the significance and use of their studies.

I had a cat I used to mind bend once in a while. He'd just get done eating and I'd ask.."HUNGRY?"...for a few seconds he was fooled. Then of course his tail would whip as he'd walk away...indicating he wanted my adams apple on a stick

It’s kind of beautiful, in a way.
