Evidence Sheep Can Recognise Faces

The video discusses research at the Brother Ham Institute, revealing that sheep can recognize individual faces for up to two years and navigate mazes for rewards. This ability is not only impressive but also has practical implications for understanding human brain functions. The research shows that sheep can distinguish between photos and even tell left from right, a task challenging for some humans. These findings suggest sheep as a useful model for studying cognitive processes similar to those in humans.
