我为什么要提出这一主张？好吧，主要是为了吸引您的注意力。但是，考虑一下鱼类可以做的一些我们不能做的事情。例如，我们两足的生物可以向前，向后和从一侧向后。Fish也可以做到这一点，但是它们也可以上下上下，他们只能通过思考并几乎没有移动鳍来做到这一点。
If we get up in the middle of the night because we hear a noise or are thinking about that Victoria’s Secret catalog on the table (strictly for research purposes, of course), we would run into walls, doors, windows, or, if we’re lucky, a beautiful cat burglar. (I would probably just trip over a cat!) But a fish would not run (or swim) into anything.
Have you ever gone fishing, sat there all day putting worms on a hook without getting a single bite, and then quit in disgust after throwing the rest of your worms in the water only to see 47 fish come up to devour all the worms you just dumped in? It happens all the time. They know there’s a hook in there. But how?
Put it all on the line
How are fish able to do all these things that are well beyond the capabilities of us “highly advanced” humans? Becausefish have a lateral linethat lets them know what is around them, even in pitch darkness. If a fish loses an eye, it barely notices and goes about life as if it just had LASIK surgery. It’ll get along fine just by relying on its lateral line. Everybody here who has a lateral line raise your hand. Higher! That’s what I thought.
Gender-bending ability
Many fish species can do something else that people can’t (without expensive surgery, anyway): They can change sex. Then, if they get bored, they can change back again.
我有一些火小丑鱼。实际上，我有很长一段时间，然后决定再买一个。第一个是男性或女性。我不知道。这个火小丑在一个破碎的瓶子里坐在那里多年，只是看着我的杯子。他（或她）一直在巢穴上保持警惕，并保持整洁，将碎屑与箭蟹柱一起吹走。内部没有另一个火焰小丑，半径为15英里。
然后有一天我添加了另一个fire clown and the two of them fought. I don’t know whether they both thought of themselves as boys, girls, or politicians. But then after a few years, they started becoming friends. Then they were more than friends if you know what I mean. So one of them became a female (I could tell by her eyelashes and the fact that she started to smell better).
现在，我不知道拥有那个可以变成女性的人，但我确实记得在内衣的坦克前行走。我不知道那是否会导致转变；我的妻子只是告诉我离开电视的前面。
A kaleidoscope of colors
Another weird thing about fish is that the tropical ones are, for the most part, beautifully colored. Why is that? To attract mates? Scare predators? Look good in magazines? No, it’s because where fish live, the only color you can see is blue. If you descend in the ocean about 40 feet, or somewhere thereabouts (I’m a diver, but I never take a ruler with me), everything becomes blue because blue is the only color of the spectrum that gets through that much water. So all fish appear blue in the sea. A铜带蝴蝶would be blue with darker blue bands, and red appears black. The fish probably know why they have those colors, but no one else does.
另外，虽然我们认真对待（或者也许不是那么认真）考虑这一点，但温带水中的鱼类为什么有单调的颜色？有没有看到带有黄色条纹的鲜红色或蓝色的比目鱼？我不这么认为，但是为什么不呢？为什么来自热带国家的人们不是明亮的紫色，黄色和蓝色，而是热带鱼类？尽管皮肤中有不同程度的黑色素，但来自纽约，阿拉斯加和格陵兰的人们与其他地方的颜色或多或少相同。为什么鱼这么特别？
那么谁真的是上等动物？
请记住，我们花了数千美元在鱼上，然后在岩石上花费数千美元，然后花数百美元在药物，测试套件，书籍等上。除此之外，我们花了12.00美元购买小块的小块蛤lam或mysis来喂养它们。一条鱼对你做了什么？没事，对吗？除了死亡，跳出或获得ICH，流行眼睛或游泳膀胱疾病！
这些只是我不知道的一些事情。我不理解的其他很多事情 - 我不拥有的知识广泛。我的意思是，我们可以继续谈论宇宙的尽头，我们都会有不同的观点，有点像ICH线程。我认为，在宇宙的尽头是一堵墙，上面有焦油纸，除此之外，草莓田永远是。证明我是错的。（编者注：Pepperland完全由蓝色卑鄙的人居住，实际上是宇宙之外的……还是在整个宇宙中？）
I guess we should save some room for your thoughts and then start on why invertebrates are smarter than we are.
Well, smarter than “some” of us anyway.
