Researchers say this is without any prior training.

The researchers found that sheep can recognize both familiar and unfamiliar human faces.

In addition, they also say the study could help in the research into Huntington's disease, as well as other human brain disorders that affect mental processing.

Among the faces they were trained to recognize were former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.
