25 Popular Facts That Are Actually False
Color: red Angers Bulls
Bulls and the Matador: The Myth of Color Bulls respond to the matador's movements rather than the color of his coat, debunking the common myth that they are angered by specific colors.
Key Points Color Blindness: Bulls, like many other cattle, are dichromatic, meaning they have limited color vision and cannot distinguish between red and other colors effectively. Movement and Behavior: Bulls are more reactive to the motion of the matador's cape rather than its color. The swirling movements and actions of the matador provoke the bull's instinctive responses. Cultural Misunderstanding: The association of the color red with aggression in bullfighting is largely a cultural interpretation. The cape, known as the "muleta," is traditionally red, but its color does not influence the bull's behavior.
