Do animals and plants keep a count?


Does a chicken know how many eggs it has laid today? How many chicks it has? How many eggs it has laid throughout its life? Does it know how old it is?

Does a mango tree know how many mangoes it has at any point in time? How many mangoes it has produced?

Does a tree keep a count of how many people it has seen?

Does a cow know there are 4 people (4 individuals) standing in front of it ? Or does it see 4 people as a collection?

Two years since resigning from Wirecard
