I’m not super worried about the need to sneak up on a giraffe, but I would love to know how close I have to get to my cat for him to recognize me, thanks
When I was at college, my cat would jump onto the ledge of my 3rd floor apartment window to see me when I got home—she knew the sound of my car pulling up.

Also, the line that says ~100m (100 yd) is definitely a bit out on one of those measurements. There's roughly a 10% difference between them so it should either be 90m or 110 yd.
And you can't claim significant figures or rounding because:
90m would still only be 1 sig fig
It happily uses 3 sig figs with the human claiming 165 ft.
Agreed. They could use meters, yards, feet or anything else they want but consistency is key. I’m guessing they collected some of these metrics from different sources and didn’t bother to adjust them for consistency since it’s just a Reddit post. But then again, they knew it would be called out because it IS a Reddit post.
I was reading about the difference between cat and dog smell and it was interesting how one smells a lot of smells from further away and one has a stronger acute smell. Etc.
Sometimes I sit in my car a touch too long and they literally drop onto the hood and demand i get out, either by pawing at the windshield or with a fixed, owlish stare.
I should think when you're nearly twenty feet tall it's pretty critical to see details from a larger distance so you know what you might be stepping on.
Had dyed red and black stripy hair about 25 years ago when brightly coloured hair was unusual. Visiting a friend in London and she got us zoo tickets.
There was a big half circle boardwalk around the giraffes and they flat out stared directly at me the whole way around. I heard one of the keepers remark that they seemed fascinated by that person, indicating in my direction. That whole day at the zoo, whenever I went, these damn giraffe heads sticking up over the horizon watching me.
Its been a quarter century now but sometimes I can still feel their eyes on me.....
This must be referring to identifying an individual, not just identifying an object as human. Unless you need corrective lenses, literally everyone in the world can identify a human as a human if they’re not deliberately camouflaged at a distance. If 50m was the number, footballers would never be sure if there were really still people at the other end of the pitch.
I mean I don't know the specifics of dog eyes, but one would assume a dog recognizing you is more about scent and routines and such and less about the exact specifics of how you look
Idk man. I take my dog to an off leash dog park thats many acres in size. She often will lose sight of us and I can see her scanning the field of dogs and humans from ~60 meters until she sees me, stops, and sprints to return to me.
Dogs have really good senses of smell. This is specifically about visual recognition though, which you probably wouldn't be able to control for with your dog
Yup, and it has almost 11k upvotes and a reward. This is a great example of how misinformation spreads. Is this mostly harmless? Yup, but it’s still misinformation.
This would be a good methodology, but I highly doubt anything closer to this scientific was used. More likely "eagle initiates return to trainer/handler who released it from 5km distance, therefore can recognise trainer/handler at 5km"
To be honest, I think this graphic doesn’t make much sense. It certainly must be referring to identifying an individual, but at the same time I doubt anyone has ever tested this for giraffes and all those birds.
I think overall it's just wrong. Deer are blind as shit. And no I'm not talking about at night. You can be right on top of them but if you aren't moving and you're downwind, they won't see you
Even then it's obviously wrong, like if you've ever been on a running track and see someone at the other end, that's like 200m away, other end of a soccer pitch is 100m away. And of course you can still recognize someone you know.
Diurnal vision, that is. Our night vision is absolute shit, and most of the animals we bear in diurnal vision kick our asses at night. We lack a reflective film in our eyes that amplify the low light, and we have more cones (color receptors) than rods (black and white, but very high sensitivity) when compared to animals with better night vision.
The history of human innovation is largely concerned with making fire burn hotter/brighter and for longer as well as throwing rocks faster and farther.
Animals don't see very far when you set them on fire. You could use other tools like binoculars before you go to immolation, surely there's a few more steps before that point.
IIRC it's because our ancestors switched from being nocturnal insectivores to being diurnal frugivores, and better color vision means better identification of which fruits are good to eat
This is one of the main reasons we have coevolved with dogs. They are far better at perceiving danger in the dark. Our strengths compensate for each others’ weaknesses.
I once went at least 200 feet away from my dog in my neighbor’s yard and my dog got pissed off and started barking at me. She knew it was me from that distance.
Yeah, that's probably them hearing you. Our dog can tell our cars apart by sound when we're driving well over 50 meters away. He'll react in specific ways, depending on who it is every time. (When he's inside the house)
One of our neighbours have hunting dogs, and they start barking at the same distance when we're just walking quietly down the road. Even with several buildings and a bunch of trees between us. The loudest thing they have to identify him is him walking around and sniffing things.
My dog was born half deaf, and he cannot locate sounds at all. So if there's a sound in the front of the house he might be mistaken and go look out at the backyard. Sometimes he can get by, by using context he might recognize a voice, and remember where he saw that person last and look in that direction, but most of the times he just looks in the wrong direction every time. He has to rely heavily on smell and vision for locating things, he's also acquired a hairpin trigger on sounds by I think overcompensating by reacting to any sounds. He'll try harder to listen for sounds since he can't hear that well to distinguish them.
A dog's eye sight, is arguably their worst sense. I've work with many blind dogs (some bind at birth or lost their sight over time) and not a single one of them had any real troubles. They will be fine as long as they have their sniffers.
When I call my dogs name he comes running, but he always looks lost until he gets like 5m away. It's such a "I'm coming but I don't know exactly where you are yet".
But at the same time, he wigged out tonight because there was a flattened rat down in an alley about 25m away from me, out of sight, in the rain. To me, it didn't even have a smell.
This comparison is nonsense . In the case of dogs recognition=recognition most probably, and afaik a giraffe or an eagle can't go.... "oh look, that's Peter, the mailman, over there"
I think most birds or mammals can recognize what a human is. Animals behave differently around dufferent kinds of animals. Like deer are usually cool with geese but will see a human child and run away. Hell ive even seen this scuba diver who had a fish that he knew for years and it would recognize him specifically
But are we talking about recognizing a human silhouette, or recognizing "Peter the mail man"?
Because I can recognize a human silhouette way way far from 50m. Dogs probably can recognize "Peter the mail man" from 50m, and a human silhouette from 100 to 300m.
And I don't know if there's any kind of conclusive studies about giraffes or prey birds being able to recognize Peter the mailman from any distance.
I think it’s supposed to be “recognizing that the shape over there is a human”. But I definitely agree the human’s rank is ridiculous given we aren’t limited by an eyesight range of half a football field.
Idk why TF did we change from feet to yards. My American brain can't picture the relationship between them so now i.cant compare the second set of animals to the first lol Edit to clarify I know how big a yard is but I don't often visualize things in terms of yards so it's harder to picture. I'd have a similar difficulty picturing large items presented in centimeters.
That or the human depending how what's the reasoning behind the score
Because if it's supposed to identify, in general, shapes and such (like to know if it's a human or a different species), 50m is super low for human eyes, even on average (unless it has to do with glasses messing up the stats?)
But if it's to specifically identify an individual and recognized who is who (like to differentiate a crow from another bird), I feel like it's so high for a deer... It's definitely getting blurry enough for human to not be 100% sure and I really doubt it's THAT different for a deer. They are pretty good to know if there something is moving and such, but beyond that... I dont know if I trust that stats at all.
Slowly approaching it from a distance is more what I was thinking about, as if they don't see it creeping up, sometimes yeah maybe a car or truck creep up on a deer, but I'm sure if they see that far, they must see the lights, sorry for swearing but I still call bullsh*t on the distance they can see
Veronica Seider, a German woman who was born in 1951 and became famous for her extraordinary vision while she was a student at the University of Stuttgart.
In October 1972 the University of Stuttgart reported that their student Veronica Seider possessed a visual acuity 20 times better than average and could identify people at a distance of more than a mile (1.6 km)
Recognition and identification are completely different things. I can recognize the presence of a person further than 165ft away, but aside from maybe certain unique characteristics or gait I’m not going to have much chance of identifying the specific person I’m seeing at this distance or beyond.
I legitimately don’t know what the claim is here.
It’s absurd to say a dog can’t recognize a human beyond 20ft, but if we’re talking about “identification” distances… I question the Legitimacy for all the other animals listed. How many people do these animals really know? Are they picking them out of a lineup? Are they people in the lineup all dressed the same and similarly built? I watch my dogs identify my wife from 165ft+ 2-3x per week. Occasionally they bark at bald guys thinking they see my dad, but they’re pretty accurate generally.
I've got little to zero faith in this chart. It says humans are at 50meters. When I was in track and field, picking out individuals on the otherside of the track in the jumble of athletes may not have been the easiesr thing, but recognizing somone at the other end of the track (100meters) wasn't some magic trick either.
What is the qualification of "identify" here? I believe a dog could identify your individual qualities at 6 meters visually, but would likely identify you by smell long before that.
And what is the standard for the eagle - are we holding it to the same standard of identifying an individual here?
I can recognise a person clearly from quite a lot further out than that, & my dog recognises me (while she’s inside & I’m outside) so she can’t smell from much further than that as well.
What does recognize mean? Can they recognize features? Not sure any of these beside the dog will have the need to tell specific humans apart. Or does it mean they can just identify you as a human?
I feel like these numbers are made up.
I can easily recognize different people at distances greater then 50 meter. 50 meters is like 60 steps. I am confident I can recognize individuals by their face at distances greater then 100 meter. 100 meter is the end of my street, or half the length of the main corridor in the building I work. It's a distance you walk in less then 100 seconds.
This is with deteriorated eyesight due to being 53.
I am 100% sure herding dogs and retriever dogs can recognize humans at distances greater then 20 meters.
Terriers though, there I believe the 6 meters.
And the rest of the animals I don't know, but considering the values for dogs and humans are obviously bullshit I can't trust the rest of the values either
I’m not super worried about the need to sneak up on a giraffe, but I would love to know how close I have to get to my cat for him to recognize me, thanks
Just outside scratching range
“Ah! Oh it’s you, where’s my food?”
He would never!!
My other boy would, though. He has no discipline.
The girls would but only if pressed.

They can actually recognize you at 10km. They just arent on this list cause they dont give a shit
My cats greet me at the door every night and are glued to me 24/7.
They give so many shits.
When I was at college, my cat would jump onto the ledge of my 3rd floor apartment window to see me when I got home—she knew the sound of my car pulling up.
Yeah it's people with dogs or barn cats that keep this myth alive lol.
Shits that you, in fact, scoop—out of love.
Litter robot does half the work
But two won’t use it so. Yes. Babies, the elderly, sick children, pets.
When you love something, you clean up its poop.
Any cat owner can tell this is false, cats are very needy and might be indifferent to strangers but love their humans
I read this recently about cat vision

Yes #3 very important! I don’t care if an eagle can see me, where tf is that line with bears??
Also, the line that says ~100m (100 yd) is definitely a bit out on one of those measurements. There's roughly a 10% difference between them so it should either be 90m or 110 yd.

My cat will turn his back to me, 2 feet away from me and start meowing like he'll never see me again
I was reading about the difference between cat and dog smell and it was interesting how one smells a lot of smells from further away and one has a stronger acute smell. Etc.
About 6-10m in my experience usually for a certain recognition. Further away for the "Is it? Looks like! Maybe!" Excitement.
It depends on his mood.
Probably the same as a dog, but they likely heard you before they saw you. My cats know my car and decend upon it when I get home from work.
Mine do, too. And they’re free fed and have a litter robot, so it’s not from hunger.
They just like to throw themselves at me and get pets and praise, like little children.
Sometimes I sit in my car a touch too long and they literally drop onto the hood and demand i get out, either by pawing at the windshield or with a fixed, owlish stare.
Giraffe is quite unexpected.
I should think when you're nearly twenty feet tall it's pretty critical to see details from a larger distance so you know what you might be stepping on.
Don’t wanna misstep 1,600 yards away lol
I did it once and it was no laughing matter
Or for seeing savannah predators approaching from far away. Being able to get out of the area ahead of time might make up for not being super fast.
lol those things can move idk what giraffes you’ve seen
funny enough, there is a 3d animation video comparing how fast different animals can run and giraffes appear surprisingly far down the video.
I mean, they’re faster than your average horse and taller than a double decker bus 😅 it’s like watching dk metcalf sprint
Don't they only sleep for like 20 mins a day or something crazy I'm too lazy to look it up
"Birds eye view"
Control high ground!
IT'S OVER ANAKIN!

That whole day at the zoo, whenever I went, these damn giraffe heads sticking up over the horizon watching me.
Its been a quarter century now but sometimes I can still feel their eyes on me.....
I'm a tall person, one of my only skills is being able to find my friends in a crowd.
This must be referring to identifying an individual, not just identifying an object as human. Unless you need corrective lenses, literally everyone in the world can identify a human as a human if they’re not deliberately camouflaged at a distance. If 50m was the number, footballers would never be sure if there were really still people at the other end of the pitch.
That certainly must be the case for the human measurement. I can definitely identify "that's a human" from at least a mile.
Which begs the question, "how can they tell whether an eagle sees 'a human' vs. 'Mike the human'".
Yeah, which puts the entire dataset into question
I think it’s pretty obvious this is wrong when it says dogs can’t identify you past 20 feet. Anyone who’s had a dog knows this isn’t true.
I mean I don't know the specifics of dog eyes, but one would assume a dog recognizing you is more about scent and routines and such and less about the exact specifics of how you look
Idk man. I take my dog to an off leash dog park thats many acres in size. She often will lose sight of us and I can see her scanning the field of dogs and humans from ~60 meters until she sees me, stops, and sprints to return to me.
How are you able to identify your dog from over 50 m away?
yeah this is fake news
Dogs have really good senses of smell. This is specifically about visual recognition though, which you probably wouldn't be able to control for with your dog
Yeah I'm thinking this whole thing is garbage
Not necessarily if it's talking about identifying your face
Yup, and it has almost 11k upvotes and a reward. This is a great example of how misinformation spreads. Is this mostly harmless? Yup, but it’s still misinformation.
Haven't looked it up but it could be like:
Doing this with Giraffes is actually more impressive.
Yes, flying giraffes are wondrous to behold.
This would be a good methodology, but I highly doubt anything closer to this scientific was used. More likely "eagle initiates return to trainer/handler who released it from 5km distance, therefore can recognise trainer/handler at 5km"
"MIKE! HEY! MIIIIIIIKE!!!"
"Dude, he's just blanking you again, leave it-"
"MIKE!! I can see your house from here!"
To be honest, I think this graphic doesn’t make much sense. It certainly must be referring to identifying an individual, but at the same time I doubt anyone has ever tested this for giraffes and all those birds.
Deer also have worse eyesight than us, but they do spot predators at a distance.
They can't identify a car from 5m.
Neither can I with modern headlights leaving me blind as POTUS when he states at the sun.
they are better at spotting movement. no?
They identify anything that moves, is big and doesn't look like them as predators.
I'm a bit dubious on the dog one. I've had dogs that could recognise me from much further away
Yeah, but is an eagle, from three miles away, saying, “Hey, that’s Gary!”?
That is how the test was done. The eagle would send a voice note on whatsapp at ~5km saying “Yeah that’s freaking Gary”
I think overall it's just wrong. Deer are blind as shit. And no I'm not talking about at night. You can be right on top of them but if you aren't moving and you're downwind, they won't see you
The whole concept behind this seems dubious at best.
Even then it's obviously wrong, like if you've ever been on a running track and see someone at the other end, that's like 200m away, other end of a soccer pitch is 100m away. And of course you can still recognize someone you know.
So we see better than dogs? I guess they smell us first then, my dog wags when I'm a mile off
They can hear and smell way better than us but humans have some of the best eyesight of mammals
Diurnal vision, that is. Our night vision is absolute shit, and most of the animals we bear in diurnal vision kick our asses at night. We lack a reflective film in our eyes that amplify the low light, and we have more cones (color receptors) than rods (black and white, but very high sensitivity) when compared to animals with better night vision.
You win some, you lose some.
You win some, you win the rest using fire.
if not, upgrade fire, repeat
What if we use fire and pointy sticks?
The history of human innovation is largely concerned with making fire burn hotter/brighter and for longer as well as throwing rocks faster and farther.
Magic rock boils water, ape happy.
That’s why I’m training my cat to use a crossbow with gonorrhea tipped bolts. Ultimate apex predator
Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we?
Animals don't see very far when you set them on fire. You could use other tools like binoculars before you go to immolation, surely there's a few more steps before that point.
I just wanna see other spectrums. I don’t give a shit about night vision lol. Gimme that mantis shrimp vision.
IIRC it's because our ancestors switched from being nocturnal insectivores to being diurnal frugivores, and better color vision means better identification of which fruits are good to eat
This is one of the main reasons we have coevolved with dogs. They are far better at perceiving danger in the dark. Our strengths compensate for each others’ weaknesses.
We lack the reflective film to make us less visible to predators.
idk, my naked body shines like a torch for how white it is.
No, we lack it because we hunt during the day
Today I learned..
But giraffe is a mammal
Some of …
I once went at least 200 feet away from my dog in my neighbor’s yard and my dog got pissed off and started barking at me. She knew it was me from that distance.
I'm not convinced dogs aren't psychic. I swear I can walk my dog and dogs from DEEP INSIDE THEIR HOUSES will run up to the window to harass us.
Yeah, that's probably them hearing you. Our dog can tell our cars apart by sound when we're driving well over 50 meters away. He'll react in specific ways, depending on who it is every time. (When he's inside the house)
One of our neighbours have hunting dogs, and they start barking at the same distance when we're just walking quietly down the road. Even with several buildings and a bunch of trees between us. The loudest thing they have to identify him is him walking around and sniffing things.
Those big ears aren't just for looking cute
My dog was born half deaf, and he cannot locate sounds at all. So if there's a sound in the front of the house he might be mistaken and go look out at the backyard. Sometimes he can get by, by using context he might recognize a voice, and remember where he saw that person last and look in that direction, but most of the times he just looks in the wrong direction every time. He has to rely heavily on smell and vision for locating things, he's also acquired a hairpin trigger on sounds by I think overcompensating by reacting to any sounds.

But at the same time, he wigged out tonight because there was a flattened rat down in an alley about 25m away from me, out of sight, in the rain. To me, it didn't even have a smell.
Same. My dog will bark at me like a stranger from 10' on occasion, until I start talking to her and then she realizes who I am.
This comparison is nonsense . In the case of dogs recognition=recognition most probably, and afaik a giraffe or an eagle can't go.... "oh look, that's Peter, the mailman, over there"
In their defense, I also recognize a giraffe from 1.5km away.
I think most birds or mammals can recognize what a human is. Animals behave differently around dufferent kinds of animals. Like deer are usually cool with geese but will see a human child and run away. Hell ive even seen this scuba diver who had a fish that he knew for years and it would recognize him specifically
But are we talking about recognizing a human silhouette, or recognizing "Peter the mail man"?
Because I can recognize a human silhouette way way far from 50m. Dogs probably can recognize "Peter the mail man" from 50m, and a human silhouette from 100 to 300m.
And I don't know if there's any kind of conclusive studies about giraffes or prey birds being able to recognize Peter the mailman from any distance.
That's why I said the comparison is nonsense.
I think it’s supposed to be “recognizing that the shape over there is a human”. But I definitely agree the human’s rank is ridiculous given we aren’t limited by an eyesight range of half a football field.
Yep. And dogs can only tell a human if he's closer than 6m? in what universe?
Fully agree.
Wtf are these measurements lol.
Glad I’m not the only one. The changing units of measure were driving me crazy.
The ~100m (100yd) really irks me
Oh okay so this confirms to me it's an AI slop.
Glad I’m not the only one to see this. It’s just…wrong
I never knew the conversions were so easy. Big metric doesn't want you to know this one simple trick.
And what is the sort order?
Idk why TF did we change from feet to yards. My American brain can't picture the relationship between them so now i.cant compare the second set of animals to the first lol Edit to clarify I know how big a yard is but I don't often visualize things in terms of yards so it's harder to picture. I'd have a similar difficulty picturing large items presented in centimeters.
My British brain can do imperial and metric and I'm still fucked if I know why they changed half way through.
Also why were humans shown fourth when we can clearly see third worst.
I'm starting to question the legitimacy of the whole thing lol
Why the fuck is this a video and not a picture
Engagement! Plus, it annoys you by taking so long to provide the data that you get even more engaged.
I call bullsh*t on the deer
For sure. Deer see movement well but have the equivalent of 20/60 vision otherwise
That or the human depending how what's the reasoning behind the score
Because if it's supposed to identify, in general, shapes and such (like to know if it's a human or a different species), 50m is super low for human eyes, even on average (unless it has to do with glasses messing up the stats?)
But if it's to specifically identify an individual and recognized who is who (like to differentiate a crow from another bird), I feel like it's so high for a deer... It's definitely getting blurry enough for human to not be 100% sure and I really doubt it's THAT different for a deer. They are pretty good to know if there something is moving and such, but beyond that... I dont know if I trust that stats at all.
How about bright f*cking lights?
Slowly approaching it from a distance is more what I was thinking about, as if they don't see it creeping up, sometimes yeah maybe a car or truck creep up on a deer, but I'm sure if they see that far, they must see the lights, sorry for swearing but I still call bullsh*t on the distance they can see
I’m looking at someone right now further than 50 meters soooo idk bout all that
I think this is implying the ability to resolve enough detail to recognize a person's identity and not just identify their species.
I can absolutly recognize someone from over 50m away.
And they figured out how far out an elephant can remember a certain person by doing...? This is nonsense
By seeing it react with excitement to a familiar caretaker it likes? I think you just lack creativity.
And how does this explain how this would apply on eagles. At 5km...
And the eagle and the owl? Pretty sure they can't be trained the same way to test that like elephants.
Also a human could recognize someone they know and react with excitement well past 50m. So if the test was something like that's it's still flaws.
Elephants are pretty smart in the animal kingdom, definitely able to discern between different people and elephants
i call buuuuulllshhiittt on these stats
This dataset is super biased !
For humans and dogs : the task is to recognize a specific person.
For other animals it is only about identifying a human silhouette.
These are completely different types of recognition, so comparing the distances makes no sense.
Why does it convert meters to feet, and then randomly on one it converts (inaccurately) to yards?
Because AI
And for some reason it's not sorted ascending... Almost but for some reason not quite
Nonsense vid btw, every stat here is just pulled straight out of someones ass
I thought the second one was an armadillo
Can you recognize an armadillo from 50 meters?
What about cats? I guess they don't care. Typical.
Was scrolling hoping someone would call this out. Glad someone else cares about cats!!
They considered the experiment below them and refused to participate.
I’ve always heard they can’t make out faces at a distance well.
Pulling these numbers out of your ass, are we?
Was it really so hard to but human before deer?
This is flat out wrong? Even against the wind, my dog can recognize people from way farther and he's already gotten old.
Downvoted because graphic sucks
My dog can definitely identify the sandwich in my hand from a mile away
"50m? there no way, I've been able to recog.....5 fucking kilometers?!"
AI poop
This dataset is super biased !
For humans and dogs, the task is to recognize a specific person.
For other animals it is only about identifying a human silhouette.
These are completely different types of recognition, so comparing the distances makes no sense.
You're saying I can't recognize someone is a human until they're 50m away?
Why are they in order except for human randomly
why do we even need a movie for this waste of time?
Oh man. Reddit is like a buffet of bot activity, misinformation and insidious posting.
I wish there was an alternative with none of this bs.
I don't know any elephants, deer, giraffe, owls, falcons or eagles so I would be very surprised if one recognised me.
eagles be like
Me, seeing a human at 50.1 meters:
what in god's name..??
Cat?????
How do you know?
How can they identify me when we have never met?

In October 1972 the University of Stuttgart reported that their student Veronica Seider possessed a visual acuity 20 times better than average and could identify people at a distance of more than a mile (1.6 km)
my dog can spot me at least 50 meters away. i m confused. and its visual. its not the smell.
Cat: 0m or 10,000m. They do not recognize us unless they want to.
I literally do not believe this
This is a load of bullshit. A dog cant recognize you with its eyes past 6 metres?
Human recognizing a human as human or as someone they know at 165 feet? Because I sure as sh*t can spot a human a lot further away than 165 feet.
Recognition and identification are completely different things. I can recognize the presence of a person further than 165ft away, but aside from maybe certain unique characteristics or gait I’m not going to have much chance of identifying the specific person I’m seeing at this distance or beyond.
I legitimately don’t know what the claim is here. It’s absurd to say a dog can’t recognize a human beyond 20ft, but if we’re talking about “identification” distances… I question the Legitimacy for all the other animals listed. How many people do these animals really know? Are they picking them out of a lineup? Are they people in the lineup all dressed the same and similarly built? I watch my dogs identify my wife from 165ft+ 2-3x per week. Occasionally they bark at bald guys thinking they see my dad, but they’re pretty accurate generally.
Identify as in recognize?
I've got little to zero faith in this chart. It says humans are at 50meters. When I was in track and field, picking out individuals on the otherside of the track in the jumble of athletes may not have been the easiesr thing, but recognizing somone at the other end of the track (100meters) wasn't some magic trick either.
Wtf kind of blind ass dog do you have?
What is the qualification of "identify" here? I believe a dog could identify your individual qualities at 6 meters visually, but would likely identify you by smell long before that.
And what is the standard for the eagle - are we holding it to the same standard of identifying an individual here?
I hate it when my buddy John is 51m away and I have no clue what he is, just some unknowable eldritch entity he is.
I can’t imagine any of this is accurate.
I can recognise a person clearly from quite a lot further out than that, & my dog recognises me (while she’s inside & I’m outside) so she can’t smell from much further than that as well.
Define "identify"? To tell who that is (David or George), or what that is (log or human)?
Serious question, not doubting. How do they know this? Like what test or study was done to determine that’s how far they can recognize things?
What does recognize mean? Can they recognize features? Not sure any of these beside the dog will have the need to tell specific humans apart. Or does it mean they can just identify you as a human?
I'm pretty certain this is all bogus info.
As a letter carrier, this checks out for the dogs. Why that one house, doesn’t start barking til I’m halfway through their yard. 😂😂
Why would they change from feet to yards?? Terrible graphic.
50m for human? Thats make video fake
So dogs attack random blurry figures off in the distance. Doesn't seem right
Human: 50m? My blind ass is more like 50cm after you've introduced yourself.
Bro just made up some random numbers
My dog can identify me from at least 20m
“ identify?” As a human? As a particular human? Methodology of this study ?
I feel like these numbers are made up.
I can easily recognize different people at distances greater then 50 meter. 50 meters is like 60 steps. I am confident I can recognize individuals by their face at distances greater then 100 meter. 100 meter is the end of my street, or half the length of the main corridor in the building I work. It's a distance you walk in less then 100 seconds.
This is with deteriorated eyesight due to being 53.
I am 100% sure herding dogs and retriever dogs can recognize humans at distances greater then 20 meters.
Terriers though, there I believe the 6 meters.
And the rest of the animals I don't know, but considering the values for dogs and humans are obviously bullshit I can't trust the rest of the values either
The design of this video (particularly the sound design) makes this feel like an ad you might get on a mobile game.
ID me as “john” or as a human?
Someone needs to add a cat ...but he does not care when he sees you.
How about a cat?
6m? What’d they test, a pug?
I cannot recognize anyone from 5 mts, let alone 50
Cats: 1ft as they sit on my in bed begging for breakfast at 3AM.
Surely then the deer can see a speeding car that's about to turn them into juice
Jesus... The last one must have eagle eyes
