Dogs align with magnetic fields while pooping, study says (研究によると、犬は磁場に合わせてうんちをする)
The scientists studied 70 dogs of 37 different breeds as they defecated (1,893 dumps, to be precise) and urinated (a whopping 5,582 times) ? data collected over two years. The researchers found that dogs prefer to point along the north-south axis when they do their business ? as long as the magnetic field is stable. (この科学者たちは、３７品種７０匹の犬のうんち(正確には１８９３回)とおしっこ(なんと５５８２回)を 研究し、２年間に渡ってデータを収集した。そして磁場が安定してる限りは、犬は行為の際に 南北の軸に沿って行う事を好む事を発見した) ※訳：スレ立て人 http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-dogs-poop-compass-magnetic-field-earth-20140103,0,6764603.story
