Dogs prefer to defecate and urinate facing north - La Vanguardia

The dogs prefer to defecate and urinate facing north

Dog defecating in relation to the magnetic field of the Earth, one of the examples of the research published in the journal Frontiers in Zoology ‘ Frontiers in Zoology

dogs can detect magnetic fields and defecate when and urinating prefer align body with the Earth’s axis North-South . This curious ability has been discovered by a team of researchers from the Czech Republic and Germany for two years after watching the excretory habits of 70 dogs, 37 different breeds. The team led by Vlastimil Hart (University of Life Sciences of the Czech Republic) and Hynek Burda (University Duisburg-Essem, Germany) have made a total of 1,893 observations and 5,582 observations stool while urinating dogs, as explained in an article 24 pages published the latest edition of the journal Frontiers in Zoology .

responsible for this research recalled in his article that there are proven in several mammalian species that spontaneously align your body in relation to the earth’s magnetic field in different situations of daily life data.

Two years comments

From this knowledge, scientists decided to sign this new study analyzing the behavior of a group of dogs defecated and urinated while. After two years of observations and measurements, experts have concluded that in such circumstances, dogs preferably chosen the north-south position (ie facing north).

paragraph summary and conclusions, members of the Czech-German team say their study is the first scientific proof that dogs have magnetic sensitivity, and that their work “opens new horizons in research magnetorecepción”.

If you want to check the accuracy of the research, take a compass handy the next time you take your dog for a walk and make your needs (dog).
