4. Sheep Will Self Medicate

Yes, you read that correctly. No, they don’t do it like us: take an aspirin when they have a headache, but it is very similar because they have the same self-medicated behavior like us.

These animals have been long known to be able to choose their own alimentation which would meet their requirements, however this new ability of theirs is brand new for the scientists.

They apparently know what plants to consume in order to heal from certain illnesses. There was a study where sheep where given altered foods and toxins and then they had to choose from several plants.

The scientists would observe their eating habits and what their options are in each situation. Allegedly, the sheep pass this information from generation to generation.
