Professor Jeniffer Morton, a member of the research team, said they happened to find an interesting thing in sheep while studying Huntington's disease (a disease that causes neurodegenerative disorders leading to dementia in the elderly) .

The team of scientists put seven sheep of Ovis Aries into the test to test the intelligence of this species. They are placed in front of two baskets of food of two different colors, in which a basket has food and a basket is not. Then, they are placed in front of two different colored food baskets.

Besides, scientists have shown that sheep can pass a psychological test that monkeys cannot perform.

" Sheep can perform cognitive management tasks that only a long time ago for monkeys to do. This means sheep are important for studying the model of Huntington's disease ," Professor Morton said. more.
