This is a really interesting article, the Telegraph reports Fish can count to four - but no higher "Fish can count, according to scientists, who have found that North American mosquito fish have the ability to count up to four. A second series of experiments revealed the fish's ability to process larger numbers. The fish were not able to directly count over four, but they were able to distinguish between larger numbers if they differed by a ratio of 2:1."
This means that they have similar counting abilities to those observed in apes, monkeys and dolphins and humans with very limited mathematical ability." For my CMU readers, this means fish can do H&SS math.
