Sheep can tell whether you're feeling happy or sad

via BBC Newsround

Scientists found that sheep preferred smiling human faces to stressed ones. They also preferred being around happy animals.

The research worked by giving the sheep a choice of doors through which to get food. One door showed a happy human or a sheep, the other showed grumpy faces.

"They vastly preferred the smiling human or the image of the animal that had just had a meal," researchers said.

Earlier research by the team found that sheep could recognise 50 individual sheep faces and remember them for two years.
