Number sense in animals
ID: number-sense-in-animals
Number sense in animals refers to the ability of non-human species to perceive, estimate, and manipulate numerical quantities. This cognitive skill allows many animals to understand and differentiate between different amounts of objects, which can be crucial for survival-related activities such as foraging, hunting, or social interactions. Research has demonstrated that various animals, from primates to birds and even some insects, exhibit number sense in different capacities.
