Yep, never seen a Fish heading a Football!!!

We came from the Sea…Trixie Knuckles…

and…
Humankind evolved from a bag-like sea creature that had a large mouth, apparently had no anus and moved by wriggling, scientists have said.

The microscopic species is the earliest known prehistoric ancestor of humanity and lived 540 million years ago, a study published in the journal Nature said.

The creature is named Saccorhytus, after the sack-like features created by its elliptical body and large mouth, and its existence was identified from microfossils found in China.

That’s interesting Pixie :slightly_smiling_face:

Dr Schnell said: “The old cuttlefish were just as good as the younger ones in the memory task - in fact, many of the older ones did better in the test phase. We think this ability might help cuttlefish in the wild to remember who they mated with, so they don’t go back to the same partner.”

Indeed … that ability can be very useful … :115:

Funny that because some people pay good money for surgeons to make them look like that
