I wonder how they tested it without causing a false alarm. Too many false alarms and people won't trust those alerts.

- omarchowdhury 14y agoThe fear might be shared when there are wolves around, so they might be analyzing more than 1 animal.
- christiangenco 14y agoOh man. Hook up a GPS unit and heart rate monitor to each sheep and you have a population model for how the knowledge of danger is spread within a group. I'm literally salivating.
- marquis 14y agoI also imagine you could run some kind of flocking algorithm on the GPS units (pun not intended), where if the sheep herd suddenly scattered you'd know something was up and how herd scattering occurs. Modern herd sheep are pretty stupid animals and scare easily, but with a big enough herd it takes quite a while to get them moving.

- ChuckMcM 14y agoGet it right, the sheep who texted wolf. :-)
