8 animals with poor memory

Apurwa Amit

Goldfish: They are often associated with having poor memory, but recent studies suggest they have better memories than commonly believed. 

Bees: They have a limited short-term memory and rely heavily on instinctual behaviors and pheromones for communication. 

Chimpanzees: They have excellent long-term memory, however, their short-term memory is not as strong, especially in tasks requiring sequential memory.

 Seals: They have been observed to have relatively poor short-term memory compared to other marine mammals. They rely more on their sensory abilities than cognitive memory for survival.

Sloths: They have a reputation for having slow cognitive processes and memory. Their lifestyle of slow movement contributes to a perception of poor memory compared to other mammals.

Squirrels: They have good spatial memory for storing food caches but may not excel in other types of memory tasks. 

Ants: They have complex social structures and communication systems but individual ants have limited memory capacity. 

Ostriches: They are not known for their memory abilities and rely more on their keen senses and instincts for survival.
