Optical illusions trick sheep, llamas and goats, too
These findings could help reveal when and why falling for optical illusions evolved in animals.
Are you very busy and yet your thoughts keep drifting to the question of whether ungulates also fall for optical illusions? 🤔 Then take a look at the summary of our study in this cute comic!

Hi folks, I'm a postdoctoral researcher working on ungulate cognition. During my PhD, I have tested several ungulate species for various physical and social cognitive abilities, as well as their innovativeness and neophobia. Follow me for more content about my work with these amazing animals🦒🐐🦓🦙🦏🐪🦬
