Dogs Have Bigger Brains Than Cats!
The constant battle of dogs vs. cats continues!
It has been found that dogs have larger brains than cats since they are more sociable creatures. According to a study from Oxford University, highly social species of mammals need more brain power than solitary animals.
It found that the brains of monkeys grew the most over time, followed by horses, dolphins, camels and dogs. The brains of the more solitary mammals, such as cats, deer and rhino, grew much more slowly during the same period.
According to the study done, it may be that the cooperation needed for group living can be challenging and over time some mammals have evolved larger brains to be able to socialize better.
