Wolves Beat Dogs on Logic Test
by: Carla Moskowitz


Wolves do better on some logic testes than dogs. This happened for multiple reasons. One reason is because dogs follow human cues. Since they follow human cues they act more like human than animal. Also dog responses are similar to human infants, and human infants follow adult humans. It makes sense to why they act like humans because they are with humans so much, and they are practically raised by humans. But wolves make choices based on there observations. So they do more on they're own then dogs do. A test scientist would have them take is...they would repeatedly place an object in box a, and they would allow them to look for the object. But when they switched the object to box b human babies and dogs got confused and continued looking in box a. Wolves easily followed evidence with there eyes and found the object in box b. Neither wolves or dogs are smarter than the other but they are smart in different ways. For example, without humans wolves are smarter, but dogs are smarter when they have to survive in human enviorments. So in all wolves do better on some logic tests, but a wolf or a dog is not smarter than the other.
