Yep, very interesting.

"This opens the door for us to better understand what is going on in the brain of non-mammalian animals."

A giant leap as she said. But I don't think we can one day, understand it completly. I mean : really think as a fish. Because we're not just brain. Body and brains are linked and we understand our environment the way we feel it with our five senses and with the tools we have to do it (eyes, hands, nose...).

If we didn't have hands or if our eyes weren't arrange side by side, we wouldn't understand world the same way.

I guess if one day, they find a mean to transfer our mind in a computer memory we'll lost our ability to understand and communicate with the others.

Hmmm...

Dunno if i'm understandable ? lol

Hmmm my friends and family joke about the nmber of carrots I eat on a daily basis 8)

[alanmin4304]

Carrots contain vitamins D & E, both of which are fat soluble and processed by the liver and therefore excessive amounts are not easily excreted as are water soluble vitamins like Vitamin C. A little is good and a lot is toxic. That is why we don't feed a lot of carrot to our reptiles. Treat yourself at least as well as you would your bearded dragon.

Waits for pointy stick.

Grant probably refers to me as his dragon (I don't think the bearded bit comes into it yet) :lol:

Very interesting too.

I noticed carotenoids make them colourful and its antioxydant effect (even for us)

But i didn't know this :

'Males provided with fewer carotenoids still tried to produce a bright red throat patch, but could only do so by diverting carotenoids away from their role as antioxidants; so by trying to look as good as possible, these males aged faster.'

Thanks for the link Jenniferh
