les geais sont des animaux fascinants

Chez moi, certains imitent le cri des buses, et récemment mon copain en a entendu un qui imitait une chèvre (du coup il a cherché un moment quelle pouvait bien être la chèvre qui criait comme ça )

Horses can read human emotions
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... m=facebook

For the first time horses have been shown to be able to distinguish between angry and happy human facial expressions.

Psychologists studied how 28 horses reacted to seeing photographs of positive versus negative human facial expressions. When viewing angry faces, horses looked more with their left eye, a behaviour associated with perceiving negative stimuli. Their heart rate also increased more quickly and they showed more stress-related behaviours. The study, published today (10 February) in Biology Letters, concludes that this response indicates that the horses had a functionally relevant understanding of the angry faces they were seeing. The effect of facial expressions on heart rate has not been seen before in interactions between animals and humans.

Amy Smith, a doctoral student in the Mammal Vocal Communication and Cognition Research Group at the University of Sussex who co-led the research, said: "What's really interesting about this research is that it shows that horses have the ability to read emotions across the species barrier. We have known for a long time that horses are a socially sophisticated species but this is the first time we have seen that they can distinguish between positive and negative human facial expressions."

"The reaction to the angry facial expressions was particularly clear -- there was a quicker increase in their heart rate, and the horses moved their heads to look at the angry faces with their left eye."

Research shows that many species view negative events with their left eye due to the right brain hemisphere's specialisation for processing threatening stimuli (information from the left eye is processed in the right hemisphere).

Amy continued: "It's interesting to note that the horses had a strong reaction to the negative expressions but less so to the positive. This may be because it is particularly important for animals to recognise threats in their environment. In this context, recognising angry faces may act as a warning system, allowing horses to anticipate negative human behaviour such as rough handling."

A tendency for viewing negative human facial expressions with the left eye specifically has also been documented in dogs.

Professor Karen McComb, a co-lead author of the research, said: "There are several possible explanations for our findings. Horses may have adapted an ancestral ability for reading emotional cues in other horses to respond appropriately to human facial expressions during their co-evolution. Alternatively, individual horses may have learned to interpret human expressions during their own lifetime. What's interesting is that accurate assessment of a negative emotion is possible across the species barrier despite the dramatic difference in facial morphology between horses and humans."

"Emotional awareness is likely to be very important in highly social species like horses -- and our ongoing research is examining the relationship between a range of emotional skills and social behaviour."

The horses were recruited from five riding or livery stables in Sussex and Surrey, UK, between April 2014 and February 2015. They were shown happy and angry photographs of two unfamiliar male faces. The experimental tests examined the horses' spontaneous reactions to the photos, with no prior training, and the experimenters were not able to see which photographs they were displaying so they could not inadvertently influence the horses.

Je vais m'intéresser aux mollusques maintenant grâce à cette rencontre !!! ^^

[Liya]

j'adore les escargots (vivants, pas en persillade! )

T'inquiètes pas il dormait sous sa coquille et je l'ai remis en liberté !

J'adore aussi les animaux.
Et pourtant je suis une carnivore aussi.
Un paradoxe que je ne m'explique pas.

J'ai eu dans mon enfance :
Des chat (j'en ai encore deux là, photo à la fin de mes deux loulous)
Des canaris
Des mandarins
Des souris (la fille qui élève des souris de toutes les couleur pour savoir comment se transmettent les caractères Aux générations suivantes, c'est moi lol)
Des salamandres (oui pas bien mais je ne savais pas à l.époque)
Un lapin nain
Des tortues

On peut rajouter la gerbille, la grenouille et les poissons de mon frère
Le hamster de ma soeur.

J'aurais aussi voulu une caille, un koala et un chinchilla mais bon. Ma mère n'a pas voulu lol mère indigne! Lol (ironie)

Les deux seuls animaix que je ne supporte pas :
Les oies, ces saletés attaquent tout le temps
Les araignées : une vraie phobie, à cause de leurs pattes surtout

Pour ce qui est des escargots, c'est.leur bave qui m'intéresse moi, très bon produit cosmétique lol

Jolies ces minous !!!

Merci Rémy

Maintenant grâce à Tugdual, je veux aussi un capybara looool
Ca va, à part le fait que c'est sûrement interdit, il y a pas la place chez moi

Je sais pas si vous connaissez cette série TV qui passe sur la chaine 23
Too cute , j'adore, on voit une portée (chien, chat ou autres) de la naissance jusqu'à l'eur adoption.
c'est super mignon bien que répétitif

Sur D8 je regarde des épisodes de "Une saison au Zoo".

Je me lasse pas des animaux et de l'excellent travail des employés de ce zoo situé à Beauval dans le Loir-et-Cher je crois.
