Can giraffes do math? The worlds tallest mammals are better at addition than subtraction, scientists discover in surprising math study

New research reveals giraffes possess remarkable cognitive abilities. Some giraffes can mentally combine quantities, a foundational numerical thinking skill. This ability allows them to identify containers with more food after hidden transfers. Two giraffes consistently succeeded in these carrot-based experiments. These findings suggest a deeper understanding of animal intelligence and cognition.
