Smaller dogs shake at a frequency of 4.3 Hz.
A
team of scientists got together to discover the answer to one of life’s burning questions: How fast must dogs shake to get dry? If you’ve ever given a furry animal a bath and then stood around for approximately one second, you’re familiar with the process, which, for a Labrador, occurs at a frequency of 4.3 Hz. The scientists used a tracker placed on the wet dog’s fur to measure how fast their skin moves during the shaking-dry process. Even if all the scientific mumbo jumbo passes you by, you can still watch the
video of cute furry animals (and a bear!) shaking dry in slow motion to “Hound Dog.”
