    As you sit in the smelly spray left all over you, and every inch of furniture in the room, after Milo has “dried himself”, it’s easy to forget that his vigorous shaking is in fact complicated science. Thanks to the wonder of modern technology, experts are finally able to begin unraveling and understanding the advanced drying techniques employed by our four-legged friends.

    Without going into too much detail, what it comes down to is that dogs, and other mammals, can shake up to 70% of the water from their fur in just four seconds. This impressive efficiency has piqued the interest of researchers who believe there may be something to gain from the advanced evolutionary technique.

    “Engineers are interested in new kinds of ideas and any type of animal that is a champion of something. Dogs are good at getting dry. Any time an animal is really good at something, there is an idea there that can be used,” said David Hu of Georgia Tech.

    He’s part of a team from the institution who used ultra high-speed footage to examine the shakes of different mammals. As it turns out, the size of the animal determines the frequency of the shake and the smaller the animal the more vigorous the shake, science!
