They’ve long been thought of as smarter (thông minh) than your average (trung bình) animal, but now researchers (nhà nghiên cứu) claim they have taught pigs to use a joystick (cần điều khiển), suggesting they are even cleverer than previously thought.

Pigs have previously been found to be capable of a host of tasks, including solving multiple-choice puzzles (câu đố), and learning commands (hiệu lệnh) such as “sit”.

Now researchers in the US say they have successfully trained four pigs to manipulate (vận hành, thao túng) a joystick and control a cursor (con trỏ trên màn hình điện toán) on a monitor.

“Potentially there may be more that pigs are capable of learning and understanding and responding to than we have previously envisaged,” said Prof Candace Croney of Purdue University, who co-authored the research.
