Lambs’ Brains
Sir,—I was interested in Professor Wall’s description of intelligence in sheep. Here is one of my observations: I was travelling in a truck round the Conway Bluffs, in North Canterbury. I saw three sheep on the road about 10 chains ahead. When they saw the truck coming, they got into the waitertable and leaned against the cliff face until I passed, and then quietly stepped out when I had passed. They did not run like sheep usually do. They knew where the safest place was on the highway. How's that for intelligence?—Yours, etc, SHEEP’S BRAINS. Cheviot, January 23, 1963.
