What Fishes Know.
That fish possess a certain power of
reason is affirmed by many who have
studied them. They often learn to
recognize the voice of the one who
feeds them. Fish will congregate in
places where food is habitually thrown
to them. If a morsel proves too large
to be swallowed, they have been
known to divide it on a sharp stone.
