HOW tO CALm An AGitAteD SHeeP

Muse, Jan 2005

Show it a photo of another sheep. Sheep can recognize as many as 50 sheep faces, and they like looking at them. A scientist who studies face recognition in sheep recently found that stressed-out sheep calmed down when they could see photos of sheep faces. Goat faces weren't as soothing, and white triangles (a kind of abstract sheep face) didn't work at all.

We don't know why this is funny, but it is.
