Bulls hate the color red

A bull takes one look at a red cloth, then bounces up and down in anger. Could it be the color of the cloth? That wonder molded the myth of the idea that “Bulls hate the color red.” According to Fact Fizz, movies and social media has always presented a bull charging towards red objects. Well either way that myth is a lie! According to Science ABC , bulls are dichromatic, which means that bulls only have two types of cone cells that are sensitive to blue and yellow-green. To a bulls eye, the vivid red we see is not the same red they see. This proves that a bull reacts to the new motion instead of a color. The University of Evansville ran a study in 2007, focusing on “bursting” the same myth. They set three different colored flags; one red, blue, and white. They bulls ran and reacted to all the flags equally. That proved that the motion and the perceived threat provoked the bull and not the hue of red. Well that means this myth is bursted!
