Eyes on the killer: How painting on cattle can keep predators at bay

The ‘cow eyes’ is the newest anti-predator trick that creates the perception that the predator has been seen by the prey, making them to abandon the hunt.

What if an animal looks, moos and munches like a cow but struts around like a big cat? In a world that is dominated by fakes, it is possible to create a bogus lion in the wild and keep the king of the jungle at bay. 

If lions and leopards have ever preyed on your cows and caused you losses, well, you can now paint eyes on the backside of your stock and predators will be scared.
