19 things your dog tries to tell you
Is your puppy standing on his subsequent legs? This is what it says.
The common stereotype on cats and dogs is that dogs are more kind than cats but cats are smarter than dogs. Maybe it's because dogs are so nice. Maybe it's because of their great goofy sources. Or maybe it's because cats are less likely to eat broken glass and think it's absolutely delicious.
Anyway, recent research suggests that we underestimates dogs. A2017 study I found that dogs really have more cerebral neurons than cats, 570 million against only 250 million euros are accurate (humans have 16 billion, compared to). While defining a living being as "intelligent" is a question of debate, even among humans, the researchers of the study believe that the number of neurons animals in their cerebral cortex determines the "richness of their internal mental state and their ability to predict what is about to arrive in their environment based on past experience ", which means that" dogs have the biological ability to do much more complex and flexible things with their lives that cats can " Dogs also have a slightly larger brain than cats. (Although it does not really mean anything. The bears, for example, have brains ten times greater than a cat, but they have about the same amount of neurons.)
Previous studies have also noted that the dog has a "theory of the mind" - the ability to understand that others have beliefs, desires, intentions and different perspectives of oneself of its own disappointment. I ate a pizza when my dog barked at the door, and when I got up to check, I found that, Puzzlerly, there was no one there. At that time, he had managed to eat most of my pizza, and that's all the proof that I needed to know that he was a secret genius.
Other searches found that dogs are incredibly intelligent emotionally and possess the same social intelligence as toddlers. This is proven by their ability to participate in a "cooperative communication", AKA communicating with physical gestures in the absence of those verbal. Now, researchers at the University of Salford, Manchester, England, have managed to identify 47 gestures that dogs use to communicate and translate what 19 mean. The study, which has recently been published inThe Science JournalAnimal cognition, found that a lot of gestures mean "scratch me" and not "feeding me", as much to believe.
