Sunday, 10 August 2014. Tortoises master the tablet. A team of tortoises from the University of Lincoln have successfully learnt to use touchscreen technology to win treats from scientists, who hope to learn more about the reptile's unique method of processing spatial navigation. Whilst mammals use the hippocampus for matters of geography, reptiles are thought to use a similar enigmatic structure known as the reptilian medial cortex. This outcome suggests that like the majority of animals, reptiles rely ...
