I watched a funny video about ants that can count...apparently desert ants can count - well, not really count, but they have pedometer cells in their brains that keep track of the number of steps that they walk. It’s complicated, but it works like the pedometers people clip to their belts except that it’s embedded in their brains. It was discovered by German scientists, ja! Here’s the video: Ants That Count!
Random Fact of the Day: although the origins of the Beagle are unknown, the name comes from the French word, begueule meaning gaped or open throat because of the dog’s amazing vocal cords.
Please respond!

Thanks for sharing the link to the video. Although the video is humorous, the topic is serious science. Have you tried counting your steps to a location, closing your eyes and counting the same number of steps to get back to where you started? Does it work for you?
Thanks also for the information about the origin of "Beagle."
