The Fairview Farm in Paarl, South Africa, has a tower built for the exclusive use of the farm's goats! Different types of memories are stored in different places of the brain, making it possible for a person to suffer amnesia that robs them of all the details of their life but still allowing them to remember how to read and play music! The seed pod of the ice plant Delosperma Nakurense can open and close itself even after it has fallen from the plant and died!
