People used to think that goldfish only had a memory of 3 seconds. If this were true, goldfish would be horrible pets. Your goldfish wouldn't even know who you were, unless you had seen him in the last couple seconds - they would be like potted plants. Except for my potted plant, who gets so freaking excited every day when I come home from work.
Also, in doing research on animal memories I found this musing on the memory of a hamster:
"my hamster never bit me and me and my sis had a fight with me and she poured oil on my hamster and it always bites me now and the fight was like 2 weeks ago"

I had to add a captcha because one of my posts has the word "Google" in it and it was attracting spam robots like some sort of honey-covered robot magnet.
