Did you know...
Sheep are more intelligent than they are often given credit for. They have good memories and recognition skills, and can remember up to 50 faces for at least two years, including both other sheep and humans. They are also emotionally complex and can express a range of emotions, similar to humans.

Fun fact:
Pigs can run up to 11 miles per hour, eat five pounds of feed per day, and have 44 teeth and 15,000 taste buds. They also wallow in mud to regulate their body temperature because they don't have well-functioning sweat glands.

Cows have best friends and interact in a complex social hierarchy within their herd. A 2014 study found that young calves who lived alone didn't perform as well on cognitive tests as cows who lived with another cow.

Goats have horizontal pupils that give them panoramic vision, allowing them to see all around themselves instead of just what's in front of them, which helps protect them from predators.

Chickens have vivid dreams and experience rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep, similar to dogs and cats. However, researchers aren't sure what chickens dream about.

Turkeys have excellent hearing, but they don't have external ears.
