According to the new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.
The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.
The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society showed the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of the former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.
Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the image for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15 percent—the same rate by which a human’s ability to perform the same task declines.
“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent and individual animal are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton，who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”
Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, which affect this ability.
“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington’s disease, which develops over a long time and affects cognitive abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change,” said Morton.
1. According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep
A. They have large brains.
B. They can recognize their owners.
C. They can tell animals from humans.
D. They can recognize human faces from photographs.
2. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.
B. The new discovery is beneficial to the study how the cognitive ability changes.
C. The sheep’s face-recognition ability says the same when photos are shown at an angle.
D. The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.
3. What’s the best title of the passage
A. A New Discovery about Sheep
B. How Do Sheep Recognize Each Other
C. A Wonderful Scientist
D. The Lives of Sheep
