Rearch has shown that some species of monkeys, birds and domesticated（驯化的）animals can even distinguish among different faces by looking at photographs alone. Scientists have also wondered whether domesticated animals that have coexisted with people for thousands of years can recognize different human faces.
Lea Lansade of the French National Rearch Institute did an experiment to find out how well hors can recognize individual people in photographs. She and her team first taught the hors how to "choo" between two side-by-side images by touching their nos to a computer screen. The hors were then shown photos of their current keeper alongside faces of unfamiliar humans. They had never en photos of any of the people before. The hors correctly identified their current keeper and ignored the stranger's face about 75 percent of the time, significantly better than chance. What's more, the hors also preferentially picked photos of their previous keeper—a person they hadn't en in six months. In fact, even though the hors didn't get it right every single time, they were at least as accurate in picking out their previous keeper as they were at identifying their current one.
The results suggest that not only can hors tell the differences between familiar and unfamiliar human faces, they can also understand that photographs are reprentations of real life. In addition, hors em to have a long-term memory for human faces.
In future experiments, the rearchers would like to test whether looking at photos of people that they have had bad experiences with in the past might cau hors to act anxious or even avoidant. So maybe think twice before doing anything that might give a hor a long face.
