The ability for cows to perceive a visual cliff was tested by NA Arnold et al. Twelve dairy heifers were exposed to a visual cliff in the form of a milking pit while walking through a milking facility. Over this five-day experiment the heifers’ heart rates were measured along with the number of times they stopped throughout the milking facility.

Although it is harder to walk upright with bent knees on land, this difference gradually diminishes as the depth of water increases [53] and is still practical in thigh-high water. [54]

A photograph of a man taking a stroll on a super-clear frozen lake in East Jordan, Michigan has gone viral.
An experiment was conducted to test the validity of this model, in which subjects are presented moving point-light and stick-figure walking stimuli. Each frame of the walking stimulus is matched to a posture template, the progression of which is recorded on a 2D posture–time plot that implies motion recognition.
The benefits of walking abound—improving heart health, sleep quality, and mood are just a few of the many pros of going for a stroll. Now, new research has found that walking could add over 10 ...
