When wolves and dogs could see where food was hidden, they were better able to find the cache, suggesting that they use visual cues before scent, a new study shows.
It also corroborates previous findings that wolves, at least those that are intensely socialized with humans, can also use that information, making them similar to dogs in that way, said
“Sense of smell is very important, but it costs a lot of energy to use the nose — at least, that’s what we see with our animals,” Range said. “It seems in most situations, if they have a visual cue, they will use a visual cue first.” “In dogs, we’ve counted on them watching our behaviors. It’s part of how they were domesticated,” saidwho was not involved in the study. “They watch our behaviors very intensely, and they also are often motivated by food. So if our behaviors have something to do with food, I think they do pay special attention.
