Why Sheep Are Smarter Than Most People Realize
Sheep have a bit of a bad rap in this area. They aren't known for being geniuses and certainly lose out in intelligence vibes to goats, who get a fair amount of attention for their brains. New research tells us that this might not be fair to these herd animals.
Sheep have the ability to recognize faces and map their surroundings in their heads. They also have what researchers term "executive decision-making." To test these theories, scientists put food in certain colored buckets, but not others, and then tracked how long it took them to notice. Once the sheep figured it out, though, they switched things up by moving the food to a different colored bucket.
"We looked at whether they were able to understand rules and got them to do what is known as a choice discrimination task. But when we changed the rules, they behaved pretty much as a human in that they got bothered about us changing those rules," researcher Professor Jenny Morton from the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Cambridge explained to BBC. Basically, the sheep got mad when they didn't get their snack, proving their smarts.
The little sheep in this video has clearly learned basic commands, not to mention some extremely adept jumping skills, showing TikTok that she certainly has the brains.
