B
Which animals are smart? Your answer may be dogs, apes(猿) or elephants. Now, there is one more animal added to the list—sheep.
Scientists from Cambridge University said that with training, sheep could recognize human faces, the BBC reported. Before testing, scientists showed the sheep pictures of four famous people, including former US president Barack Obama and British actress Emma Watson. Then the sheep went into a room with two computer screens. One screen had an unknown person and the other had one of the four famous people. The sheep often walked toward the screen with the famous person's face.
After finding out the animals' ability to recognize famous people, researchers gave them a new task. They wanted to see whether the farm animals could correctly recognize the same people from different angles(角度). Then, the results showed that the animals were still able to recognize them, though they were a bit slower to pick out the pictures than before.
Finally, the researchers wanted to know if the sheep could recognize their trainers from a photo. The screens showed photos of their trainers randomly(随机地) along with several other people's faces. Without any training, the sheep could pick out their trainers.
The results showed that these animals' face-recognition abilities are similar to those of monkeys, apes and humans, according to the BBC. The researchers said it might be interesting in the future to find out whether sheep can pick out different facial expressions of humans.
