9張圖會解答你心裡多年來對「汪星人」的各種疑惑，為什麼狗狗躺下來之前都會先轉一圈？

1. 狗狗真的是色盲嗎？   大家普遍上的認知都相信，狗狗只能看到黑白兩個顏色，但其實那不全然是事實。儘管他們無法跟人類一樣看到這麼廣的色域，他們看世界時主要還是看得到黃、藍與紫羅蘭色色調。基本上，相似的顏色就會被歸為同一類！例如，狗狗會把橘、黃與綠色直接

1. 狗狗真的是色盲嗎？

Are dogs actually colorblind? It is commonly believed that dogs can only see in black and white but that is not entirely true. While they cannot see the same color spectrum as humans, they primarily see in yellows, blues, and violets. Basically, similar colors get grouped into one. For instance, dogs will perceive oranges, yellows, and greens as yellow.

2. 為什麼狗狗睡覺前都習慣繞圈圈再躺下？

Why do they circle before sleep? Contrary to popular belief, dogs do not walk in a circle before they lay down to check for predators. The real reason that this trait exists in dogs is thanks to their ancestors. Before dog beds existed, wild dogs would make beds in tall grass. The easiest way for them to pat down the grass was to walk in a circle. Nowadays, dogs still retain this trait and you’d be hard pressed to see a dog lay down without performing this ritual.
 
狗狗睡前都習慣繞個圈圈其實並不是為了檢查附近有沒有掠食者，而是跟他們的「祖先」有很大的關係啊！在狗床出現以前，野外求生的狗狗都會在高草叢中的一處窩著，那就要自己鋪出一張床最便利的方式就是繞圈圈把草叢踩平。所以，現在狗狗才會延續這樣的傳統習慣繞完圈圈才睡覺！

3. 為什麼狗狗會搖動他們的玩具？

Why do dogs shake their toys? It’s pretty cute when dogs shake their toys back and forth, right? The reason behind this is actually pretty morbid. The ancestors of domesticated dogs used this shaking technique to snap the neck of small prey when hunting. Dog’s have maintained this instinct throughout the selective breeding process, thus resulting in the shaking of toys.
 
看著狗狗口咬著玩具頭部猛烈搖來搖去的其實感覺蠻俏皮可愛的吧，但他們這樣做的原因有點小可怕。狗狗的遠祖以前在打獵時，總會使用這樣搖動頭部的方法讓咬在口中的小獵物脖子因而斷掉，這樣就有食物可以吃了！沒想到到現在，他們就算不需要打獵也一直保留了這樣的習慣！

 

4. 狗狗懂得時間長短的概念嗎？

Can dogs tell time? Dogs cannot necessarily tell time like humans can, but studies have shown that dogs can differentiate between long and short periods. While they cannot understand the concept of time created by humans, they have adapted their own sense of time by observing and memorizing patterns that regularly occur throughout the day.
 
當然狗狗無法像人類一樣懂得看時鐘了解時間完整的概念，但有研究指出狗狗的確有辦法分出長時間與短時間的差異性。而在一天之中，他們也不會像我們一樣分出早中晚這樣確切的時間，但他們會觀察並記住一天固定的規律，例如說主人上班完回到家就是吃飯時間這樣的概念是他們有辦法理解的！

5. 狗狗為什麼要歪頭歪腦？

Why do they tilt their head? Though it is not proven, dogs will tilt their head when being spoken for a variety of reasons. The first being that they are trying to aim their ears more in your direction to hear you better. Another explanation is that they are trying to read our faces better as they are very visual when it comes to taking cues.
 
雖然沒有確切標準答案，但是普遍原因有4個，為了調整耳朵接收聲音角度、討好我們耍可愛、為了表現出他們支持並想安慰我們、為了更了解我們說話的語氣、語調及語意！

6. 狗狗與人類年齡互相換算的公式到底怎麼算出來的？

Whats the story behind dog years? We’ve grown up believing that one year of a dog’s life is equal to seven years of a human’s. While dogs do age at a more rapid rate than humans, seven isn’t the magic numbers. In most breeds, the first year of a dog’s life is equal to 15 years due to how rapidly they mature. The calculation for the rest of the dog’s life really depends on the breed, as some dogs will age much faster than others.
 
養狗的人應該都知道狗狗一年的性命就相當於人類7年的生命！意思就是狗狗老化的速度比人類快，但其實7:1並不是正確的比例。多數的狗種，第一年的性命等於人類15年的日子，一歲以上的計算方式就真的要看不同狗種的差異了，畢竟有些狗狗老化速度跟同類比起來快上許多！

 

7. 狗狗真的能講話嗎？

Can dogs really say words? While the videos of dogs saying “I love you” are amazing, it’s all just an illusion. Dogs do not have the ability to actually say words, yet they can imitate sounds and tonal patterns of humans, giving off the illusion of them talking. Most of this misconception is based off of our minds preconceived with the idea that a dog is actually speaking a word.
 
雖然大家都看過哈士奇說「我愛你」3個字的超夯影片，但其實這一切都只是個幻覺！狗狗事實上並沒有能力說出確切的字，儘管有辦法模仿人類聲音與語調規律，聽起來就像是在講話，但這其實都是因為我們先入為主地認為他們就是在講話，就會認為真正聽到了那些隨機發出的聲音組合而成的字！

 

8. 為什麼狗狗喜歡玩丟跟撿的遊戲？

Why do they wag their tail? Wagging tails do not directly translate into happiness and excitement for a dog. Canines use their tails to display strong emotions, including everything from anger to agitation, as well as happiness. However, it is common for many dogs to wag their tail more towards the left wen they are frightened and to the right when they are happy.
 
這遊戲之所以會讓狗狗每次玩起來都超興奮是因為透過人類選擇性繁殖，我們現在的狗種都成了完美的打獵夥伴，能把捕到的獵物帶回來給我們。所以，基本上這就是人類做出基因篩選後的結果啊！

 

9. 為什麼狗狗會搖動尾巴？

Why do dogs love fetch? Fetch is a game that drives most dogs crazy with excitement. But why is this? Well, this is a product of our own actions as humans. Through selective breeding, we have bred dogs to become the perfect hunting companion that will bring back animals to humans while hunting. So, fetch is essentially a genetic predisposition for dogs.
 
搖尾巴並不一定代表狗狗很開心、覺得很刺激興奮。基本上，只要是強烈的情緒，狗狗都會用尾巴表現出來，不管是生氣、激動或是開心、興奮都是如此！然而，如果仔細觀察的話會發現，許多狗狗在害怕時搖動尾巴的方向都會比較偏左邊，而開心時則是比較偏右邊！
