Bearded dragons become smarter at cool temperatures

Does the cold make dragons smarter? A new study suggests it does. When researchers put bearded dragons eggs in incubated, colder environments, they found that they were better at solving cognitive tasks as adults than than those incubated at warmer temperatures. Specifically, bearded dragons incubated at colder temperatures picked up new skills faster than their counterparts incubated at hotter temperatures. The findings could provide new insights into how animals may react and adapt to human-induced climate change.
