Memory: Squirrels’ Mind Palace, Snail Memory Transplants and the Grandmother Effect

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. 🐦‍⬛⚒️
