The wonders of our dog's facial expressions You know, dogs can be irresistible with their looks and their faces, but why, exactly? Why do we like the expressions of our fourlegged friends so much? The reason is purely evolutionary. Living side by side with man, over the centuries, has allowed the dog to "inherit" a characteristic of humans, i.e. the proportion between fast and slow fibers in the facial muscles, allowing us to produce hundreds of different expressions. In wolves, the number of slow fibers is decidedly greater than the fast ones, this means that the range of expressions of the wolf is rather limited and not “reactive” at all, vice versa in dogs, fast fibers are the majority, but not only that, it seems that dogs have an "additional" muscle, which wolves do not possess, and it is what allows them to make the classic "sweet eyes" that we all know well. A terrace or garden tailored to your cat Here are some very useful tips for creating a "cat-proof" terrace or garden! The fundamental thing is a comfortable den: it is known that cats are animals with an independent and solitary attitude, so it is better to equip your outdoor area with something that our kitty can use to hide away, a box is enough. Even better when elevated, cats have a regal personality so they love “looking down on everything!” Instead, to give them a little relaxation, you can buy a scratching post or, better yet, give them a real tree they can use for scratching their claws. Finally, a warning: avoid plants with bulbs such as daffodils and lilies because, if ingested, they can cause vomiting and diarrhea. They will appreciate some catnip much more! Tell me what dog you have and I'll tell you who you are, word from the TikTok vet Adam Christman is a US veterinarian who recently became a TikTok star, or “tiktoker”, who has posted a series of videos on the “dog – owner” correlation, carrying out some nice analysis to understand what kind of person owns a certain dog breed. For example: "If you have a Golden Retriever, you are probably very friendly, good-natured and you are the type of person that when you leave a party, others ask, 'Where did he go?' instead of "Thank god he's gone!". But also: "If you have a Husky or an Alaskan Malamute, you love the outdoors and are athletic, but also melodramatic!" Adam has also gone beyond, drawing up his own list of the most affectionate dog breeds and on the top of the podium we see the Newfoundland, followed by the Boxer and the German Dachshund. The dog from Duck Hunt for Nintendo... one of the most hated characters in the history of video games! Do you remember Duck Hunt for Nintendo? That duck hunting simulation video game, which was played by pointing a fake gun directly at the television and aiming at the ducks that tried to fly away? It was Nintendo's launch title in the US market and it was a real success, also thanks to "Smiling Dog", the dog that flushed out the ducks and made them fly away, allowing us to aim and shoot, just like in a real game. duck hunting session. The problem was that the cathode ray tube technology of the time was what it was and the aiming system was not perfect... if the player failed to hit even a duck, the dog would emerge from the brush laughing mockingly, to take I turn the master-player's poor aim around. This finesse of animation made Smiling Dog one of the most hated historical characters in the world of video games, with players loudly expressing, in specialized magazines or in various surveys, the desire to shoot the dog rather than the duck. Why do dogs tilt their head when we talk to them? A group of researchers set out to answer this question by publishing a study in Animal Cognition, a popular journal. The study was conducted on a sample of 40 dogs, whose owners pointed to toys, calling them by name, then measuring how many times the dogs tilted their head, as well as where they directed it, etc. According to this study, the most plausible hypothesis is that the act of tilting the head is a response to the sound of words that dogs considers familiar (such as the name of a toy they know or that belongs to them) and would reveal a special attention of the dog's brain that is learning to associate the name of the object with the object itself. A Japanese study confirms it: dogs cry with joy Starting from facts, the eyes of dogs produce tears for a biological reason: to protect and safeguard the eyes, which, until recently, was considered the only reason behind this physiological condition. A recent Japanese study published on Current Biology, on the other hand, identifies oxytocin (commonly called "love hormone") as responsible for these secretions. During some experiments 18 dogs were examined while they met their owners again, after being separated for 7 hours. It was noticed that the tears shed were 10% more than average and the same did not happen when dogs met strangers.
