Memory: Squirrels’ Mind Palace, Snail Memory Transplants and the Grandmother Effect
That's Just WildShow Notes
This week on That’s Just Wild, Steve and Sarah are exploring into the surprising world of animal memory. 🧠
🐿️ 🌰From squirrels with a near-perfect mental map of their buried snacks to goldfish that can remember far more than you’d think… 🧠🐠
🐘 Meet the matriarchs of the animal kingdom — elephants whose incredible memories may hold the secret to longer lives, thanks to the rare and remarkable “grandmother effect.” 👵🌍
🪶 And it’s not just remembering — some of the smartest birds on Earth, like crows, can make tools, solve problems, and even pass knowledge on… proving memory in the wild is anything but simple. 🐦⬛⚒️
