Reserarchers at the Queen Mary University recently did a study on goats ability to learn complex tasks and memory ability. There findings may surprise you and may help explain their ability to survive in harsh environments.
Goats learn how to solve complicated tasks quickly and can recall how to perform them for at least 10 months, which might explain their remarkable ability to adapt to harsh environments, say researchers. The goats’ ability to remember the task was tested after one month and again at 10 months. They learned the task within 12 trials and took less than two minutes to remember the challenge.
