When my identical twin sons were small, they were frustrated that people couldn't tell them apart and asked me why. I showed them several photos of them together and challenged them to tell me who was who. They couldn't even begin. They asked me if I knew, I showed them. They asked their dad, he pointed them out exactly as I did. They asked us how we knew, we explained that seeing them daily since birth, we got to know each of them as individuals and could tell them apart even in photos. As identical twins grow up and get older, they tend to look less and less like each other, so it gets easier for people to tell them apart. This is a relief for my sons.

[@QueenMegaera]

It's probably the constant practice that does it. I'm 7 years younger than my sister, so obviously telling us apart irl has never required any effort at all. Now my mum is frequently confused when looking of childhood solo photos of us. We're similar but NOT identical. 😂 Sometimes when we look at photos I even have to point out that I've NEVER had a certain haircut.

[@Terramater1954]

@@QueenMegaera My twin sons are identical twins from one egg, one sperm. This is different from people whose conception were from different eggs and sperm. In identical twins it started out as just one person during the first 2 to 3 weeks after conception. Then the cells begin to split to make two people. If those cells don't separate completely by the 6th week after conception to become two separate people, unfortunately they will be Siamese twins stuck to each other at some part of their bodies. Identical twins always share identical DNA because they were once one person. That's why they are referred to as "identical twins". People who look similar don't share identical DNA. Fraternal twins also don't share identical DNA. The Olson twins, who look similar, but are not identical, are the types of twins who each had their own egg and sperm at conception and have different DNA just as siblings born at different times. Fun fact, if you were to take two photos of one half of your face, then tape those half's together, that would be what your identical twin would look like. Identical twin births only happen about once every 200 births.

That was a very interesting experiment. Cat's you can't really do experiments on because they do what they want and when they want. It's interesting that the dog could tell immediately which shows even identical twins each have their own scent. Wow!

Great vid guys! I think it's more difficult testing the cats since cats are much more independent and don't care lol. Ellie had the best reaction! Guppy was like I am confusion. And Tiger gonna Tiger and be the diva, 😂.

[@claytonjohnson6243]

Animals 'see' just as much with their nose as with their eyes so this actually is not as difficult of a test for them as it would be for a person.

[@potatohacker5901]

The descriptions on each pet are so funny

[@3d.errorist]

I think that even if they are a bit confused your voices will tell them straight away who is who. The way Paul was asking for example Tiger to run to one of you, but this time without saying a word on your end could be a better test 🤔

[@ElsaLundberg]

Of course they know! They, unlike most of us, see us for the energy we're carrying instead of looks.❤️

[@gamingvibes9584]

Dogs and cats trust their nose more than their eyes 😂

[@rmzbro2766]

Cats: we dont care who you are, just give us food. If not, we go to neighbours 😂

[@KAyLA_K]

I appreciate the effort of even using the same scents and a different change of clothes that the dogs haven’t seen before 😎🔥

[@francinev3971]

yeah. but even perfume scents cannot cover natural human body scent. it mixes with our natural scent and that's what dogs can smell

[@VeronicaG_777]

They definitely got confused specially Gups and the cats. I think you should do a part two but this time Ronny use Nessas perfume, shampoo and her clothes and the same for Nessa. I think your tone of voice helps them tell you two apart as well

[@amaccoy]

Quirky looks fantastic for 19!

Amazing video as always, you two. Hope you two are having a good day.

[@OGFox-fp1hb]

I've only watched the first couple minutes and already could tell the two of these girls apart. Idk if it's because I went to school with twins for most of elementary school or what, but other perhaps that experience helped me form a way of identifying who was whom. One has a slightly thinner face than the other, her eyes are slightly bigger when not smiling big, and when she smiles her eyes remain more open. The (slightly) wider faced twin's eyes are the same size horizontally as her sister, but tends to squint just a bit more. It's definitely noticeable when she smiles, she "smiles with her eyes" -- they close/squint more than the other sister, if that makes sense. Expression and personality/individuality were how my classmates and teachers would distinguish the twins who tried bamboozling us all (a lot, lol!) I love this experiment they did and they're both very pretty young ladies 😊

[@Mylycanth]

Great vid. Really fun to see how the pets reacted to you both.

[@JayofallTrades]

Even though you tried to look and smell the same, twins have different scent profiles even when they live in the same environment. A dog can tell thier person by scent and pheromones. So regardless of you looking the same, if one animal is more bonded to the other twin, they will know the difference.

[@emilyodesigns8790]

I never realized that Tiger is a shih-poo! I have an almost 12-year-old shih-poo too named Molly. They are such sweet and sassy dogs

[@gaileverett]

This was interesting. I think there was a big difference in motivation between the cats and the dogs. You can't really make cats do things. If the test had been much shorter for the cats, you might have gotten a clearer result. I think they did know the difference but didn't like having to do it over and over. But it was all worth it for Ellie the Bernedoodle.

[@SurfinScientist]

Dogs can distinguish from smells. Even twins smell differently.

[@sharonc8632]

The 1st dog and tiger knew just don’t understand what the twins wanted😂and they don’t want to participate. I can definitely tell you two apart anytime

[@darriuscole8544]

I can tell these girls apart, by sight in this video. There is no way they fooled a single animal. Its more likely they were responding to the scents of other animals on them.

[@jackiemaddox4577]

So cute! Just like when babies see their dad/mom and their identical twin the first time

[@Nanaeguitar]

Even though your clothes and hairdo are the same, it’s very apparent that you have different qualities in your voices so if I can hear that, your animals should be able to hear it too. One is more clear and the other is deeper. Also, your faces are very distinct despite being twins.

[@lightshine6851]

Ellie has a longer nose so her sense of smell is greater. Your bodies give off different smells inherently. That is why scent hounds are used to find missing people as well as in hunting. Pugs have smashed noses so can't smell as well.

[@Rxnch.]

Congrats the chiefs won and amazing video Vanessa and Veronica 😊❤❤!

[@peteypiranalover]

Ellie never got confused

[@JoeKier7]

Seen those outfits somewhere else.... 🤩 Ellie seems to get visually confused, then her other senses take over and quickly figures it out. Love that Tiger wanted nothing to so with either of you two! Quirky has a favorite, Paul. For the twins, they can come to him!

[@Enyinnanwadiketennislane]

I love the video you guys, your dogs is so adorable & congrats on Kansas City!😊❤️💛

[@nivaliawareham2386]

I think the kittens were annoyed they got tricked, if I go away then one of my cats play real hard to get and won’t really let me pat her or anything but when I get home I give her space and she’ll usually come up to me when she’s no longer grumpy and give me cuddles. Seemed like the kitties thought it was mom at first and then when they seen mom they were annoyed and weirded out and not longer cared for the motherly interaction 😂😂❤

[@ezenwaperfect]

A dog's sense of smell is MORE than three thousand higher than that of a human. Dogs make use of there nose more, when they communicate. Even if you guys cover each other with a metal sheet, your dogs can still identify who is who just by smell only, even when you cover their eyes.
