We evaluate and define ourselves with techniques and statistics with using our minds and mainly using intellect and patience. In things such as musical arts, advanced technology, and even artificial intelligence. Of course to achieve such high standards in these key pinpoints of engineering, mathematics, scientific studies, and study of the arts is to study. Everything doesn’t just piece together in your head. Especially when it comes to design and dexterity. But of course there are other’s who seem to be able to calculate measurements in their heads. Their adroitness help them in daily life, especially with survival and living. Did I mention that they aren’t human? Sure their a species of vertebrae, just like humans they have the  33 individual bones. But you have no idea how much their intelligence level is.  Did I mention that their a species of fish? A puffer fish to be exact. I want you to pull of a picture of a puffer fish. Does it look like something that could create a phenomena? Does it look like something that could make a masterstroke? It may, it may not. But who ever told you to judge a species by it’s form? If anyone ever believes  that act of disrespect and tyranny, I suggest they do a little more research before they jump to that conclusion.

Though there are more than 120 puffer fish species around the world, puffer fish are mostly spotted in subtropical, and tropical areas, but some live in salt water and fresh water as well. But in 1995 divers found beautiful but strange circular patterns in the bottom on the sea floor in Japan. Later more of these mandala like patterns were discovered and excavated. For a while people defined them as “mysterious underwater crop circles.” But soon people figured out that they were created by puffer fish. These enigmatic designs are 7 feet wide and are made by a fish that are only 5 inches. But what really shocks me is that they were for at least a week or more. And they have to continue working or the current will sweep their work away. But what really shocks me about these fish are how much intelligence they have. They have mathematical calculations in their heads. They have measurements just etched into their minds. They work endlessly for days, to make every single thing perfect. No imperfections. AT ALL. And they do all of this for love. They create these masterpieces to catch the attention of another passerby fish that they could mate with. Well that’s what scientists presume. But  definitely think it’s the truth. I like to think of the fish as the Steve Jobs fish because Steve himself was such a perfectionist. I like to think that just because something isn’t the same kind as you, doesn’t mean that they can’t the same or even a higher level of intelligence.
