Summary:
A rattle
will only make noise if you shake it. Animals like the wolf also understand
such connections and are better at this than their domesticated descendants.
Researchers say that wolves have a better causal understanding than dogs and
that they follow human-given communicative cues equally well. The study
provides insight that the process of domestication can also affect an animal's
causal understanding.
