The same is true for sheep. Researchers at the University of Aberdeen, UK showed in experiments how sheep overwhelmingly preferred plots uncontaminated with faeces to those containing it.
They were unable to distinguish between faeces infected with parasites and uninfected faeces and so operated according to an avoid all the poo rule.
whether the mice truly prefer being near the smelly stuff Their first finding was that, like sheep,
In a way, the mice were the opposite of the sheep. Neither animal could distinguish parasitised from healthy droppings
yet sheep responded by playing it safe, while the mice took a gamble. The crucial question is why?

natural molecules produced by the sheeps immune systems to fend off infections such as influenza or those caused by parasitic worms.
The sheep whose blood contained the most antibodies lived the longest, the researchers found. These animals also were most likely to survive harsh winters.
they failed to produce as many offspring each spring as other sheep. Sheep with lower levels of antibodies tended to die earlier, they found,
but also gave birth to more lambs each year. Viewed in terms of breeding and, ultimately, evolutionary success, the differing groups of sheep were equally successful in that the longer-lived
but less fertile sheep and the shorter-lived but more fertile sheep produced about the same number of progeny over the course of their lives.
The overall balance, the researchers said, could help explain why immunity varies so much among individuals.
The tendency to form either strong or weak responses to infection ran in families in the sheep
the researchers also found. oethis genetic basis means that natural selection has the chance to shape the trait,

#Sheep Are More Intelligent Than Previously Thought â#They Can Even Make â Executive Decisionsâ##Sheep can remember faces
Sheep arent as stupid as previously thought, according to researchers. Never considered particularly intelligent, sheep are actually
so smart they make executive decisions and have long memories, remembering friends for two years.
be they other sheep or human, and can recall faces when looking at photographs, University of Cambridge scientists said.
Sheep can also pass psychological tests that monkeys would fail, according to their study. Dr Laura Avanzo and Dr Jennifer Morton were studying neurodegeneration with a focus on Huntingdons disease
As part of their research they studied a new breed of genetically-modified sheep that carry a detective gene that causes Huntingdons in people.
They also needed to study normal sheep in order to compare and contrast their findings with the GM sheep So they subjected seven female domestic sheep
#or Ovis aries#to a series of tests normally carried out on humans with Huntingdons. What they found amazed them.
The sheep learnt to recognise different patterns in colours and changed their behaviour according to the pattern they were looking at.
Dr Avanzo and Dr Morton believe this is because sheep, like many humans, behave differently when in a flock compared to when alone.
Sheep live in a flock, and in a flock theyre rather silly. When you work with them as individuals,

I've been involved with sheep all my life but I've never seen deer interact with them Andrew Capell the flock's shepherd told the BBC.
