New interesting discovery about sheep

Sheep are a smarter animal than we ever thought. That is the result of a recent scientific study published in the journal "Royal Society Open Science".

To prove this, scientists from the University of Cambridge (UK) conducted research with 8 sheep, with a training to identify celebrities, including former US President Barack Obama, actor Emma Watson, the famous British MC Fiona Bruce and American actor Jake Gyllenhaal.

According to lead researcher Jennifer Morton, there are a total of 5 training sessions that are offered at low to high levels. The first is learning to identify only on one photo, then on many other photos of the same character.

Sheep will also have access to these faces in a tilted state. Sheep use their nose to touch the image they choose, the picture will show up in red if they are correct. Ms. Morton said the sheep's accuracy in these exercises is about 66% - equivalent to the level of human accuracy.

Ms. Morton said it is surprising that this animal is capable of identifying people from 2D images, since this is a demanding process of the brain.

In the final mission, sheep will have to show a picture of their trainer every day - the character they still interact with, but never have to identify through the image. Their exact ratio in this mission is 72%.

Jobs are a special social skill of people. We can identify a famous person in a millisecond we see them. Many other animals are also known for their ability to identify "partners" in their species, while some other animals such as dogs, horses, short-tailed monkeys, mockingbirds and sheep - can identify individuals. in other animals.
