The animal world is very diverse and full of secrets. We know that animals see and perceive the world around them differently. Our pets have their own language, their own way of thinking, their own character, and their sense organs give them a different idea of the world from ours.
- Dogs understand up to 250 words and gestures, can count up to five, and perform simple mathematical operations.
- For the main sense organ of dogs – the sense of smell – to work properly, the nose
should be wet. - The tail of a dog is a gestural tool during a conversation, similar to the hands of people. With the movements of the tail, the dog expresses curiosity, anxiety, joy, and several other emotions.
- Dogs have approximately 1,700 taste buds. For comparison, humans have about 9,000 of them, and cats have 473.
- And although it seems impossible, it turns out that dogs have about 100 different facial expressions – most of them are expressed by ear movements.
- How to identify a lost dog? By nose print. It turns out that the pattern of a dog’s nose, like our fingerprints, is unique and can be used to identify the animal.
- Dog fur not only regulates temperature but also serves as a protective barrier against UV rays.
- Cats, like people, also dream. It is believed that kittens begin to dream from a week of age.
- Contrary to the opinion spread on television that dogs are superheroes of the animal world, it turns out that cats have a better memory. Studies have shown that short-term memory in dogs ranges from 20 seconds to 5 minutes, while in cats – it up to 16 hours.
- And although television often makes us think otherwise, the intelligence of dogs is immeasurable. Research has proven that the maximum level of intelligence a dog can achieve through training and education is that of a three-year-old child.
