When horses are in trouble they ask humans for help

(Kobe University) A new study demonstrates that when horses face unsolvable problems they use visual and tactile signals to get human attention and ask for help. The study also suggests that horses alter their communicative behavior based on humans' knowledge of the situation. These findings were published in the online version of Animal Cognition on Nov. 24.
