The LA Times reports that a new study says having friends can make you smarter, at least if you're a baby cow.
在有伙伴的环境下成长的小孩会更聪明,洛杉矶时报报道,一项调查显示,小牛也是如此.
Researchers from the University of British Columbia found that young calves that live alone performed worse on tests of cognitive skill than calves that live with a buddy.
On most dairy farms, calves are removed from their mothers soon after they are born and put in a pen or a hutch where they live alone for eight to 10 weeks while they wean. The practice developed to keep disease from spreading among susceptible baby cows.
