The giant tortoise has an elephant memory
0
0
It can live up to 150 years. Besides this incredible longevity, the common Galapagos giant tortoise has a very good memory. A team of researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (Japan) conducted a study for several years to measure the memory of these reptiles. The main test: remembering the color of a ball. Nine years later, the giant tortoise remembered precisely the color of the ball.
