This just in! Israeli scientists have taught fish how to drive.
Researchers taught goldfish inside a water tank how to use a wheeled platform to “drive” toward a target in order to receive a food pellet reward. What the scientists are aiming to show with this study is that navigational ability is universal rather than specific to the environment.
