The average human brain weighs 1500 grams, the average dog's brain weighs in (close your ears Lindsay) at 72g, the average cat 30g and the average turtle at a mere 0.3g (less than the size of a grape). <br /><br />However the turtle is a positive genius compared to the green lizard whose averge brain weight is 0.008g<br /><br />Totally fascinating right?Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824632356834631279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936533600162029655.post-71863447783659304502010-02-12T08:40:58.192-05:002010-02-12T08:40:58.192-05:00I have a fondness for the turtle.

I realize that they actually have a brain the size of a pistachio, but they do look as if they've been around since the dawn of time, seen it all, and understood more. <br /><br />As you can see, I like the turtle :-) <br /><br />They're wonderful pictures, all of them. The picture of the more crowded aquarium made me think of Tokyo. I suspect I need more coffee, STAT. Be well, Barry and thank you for the fun pictures.Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936533600162029655.post-10747416764051485342010-02-12T07:57:12.661-05:002010-02-12T07:57:12.661-05:00Little did I know, Rebecca!
