This is not a simple question, but about the identification of the same species. The so-called identification of the same species is: Does the dog know the difference between itself and other species? For example, human
an animal behavior expert from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom conducted a study. After several years of observation and comparison of the habits of cats and dogs, he found that:
Cats do not change their social behavior when they get along with humans, which means cats think they are in the same category as humans
While dogs get along with humans, they significantly change their social behavior, but When dogs get along with dogs, it is another social behavior that belongs to dogs
The French are not idle either , There was such a sensational experiment in France. In order to observe whether dogs can identify the same species from other animals, the experimenters also prepared photos of people, cats, cattle, sheep, horses, mice and reptiles. The dogs tested include medium and large dogs, as well as hybrid dogs.
The test is very simple. Prepare two computer monitors in a closed environment, with the dog’s face on one side and the other animal’s face on the other. , let the dog approach by itself, identify and select. The dog that stays in front of the dog photo for a certain period of time is considered to pass the test. At the same time, in the 12 tests, at least 10 times are passed to pass the test.
The results are astonishing! The dogs who participated in the test passed the test perfectly, that is to say, in addition to accurately identifying the same species, dogs can also distinguish the difference between other species and the same species. Whether it is from the side or the front, the dog can quickly identify the same species.
Take these tests to find out: a dog knows what’s different from a human, and it knows what it is
And what about cats?
A cat that is also a pet would not think so.
Foreign cat research experts have concluded that humans are not important to cats. Unlike the domestication of dogs, cats joined human society by themselves. Those rodents came to human tribes to destroy grains. Cats appeared at this time and hunted them, so for cats, they do not need human command.
Over time, the status of human beings in their hearts is the same, maybe even just one: shit shoveling
