With Halloween here, we're reminded of the superstition that black cats are bad luck. 🎃

This editor can personally attest that it's not true! One of my favorite pets was a lovely black cat named Felix: smart, funny and the best companion.

@ConversationUS looks at the human biases against all black or all white animals. "As two biologists who focus on human-wildlife interactions, what we find scary is how superstitions, lore and myths can shape your subconscious – particularly biases toward the animals people are trying to conserve and protect."
