The Myth Busters Episode 2 1. Bulls become very angry when they see the colour Red. The popular myths that bulls become angry when they see red or are unusually violent animals, comes from the tradition of bullfighting, where a matador waves around a red cape, or a muleta, and the bull charges the cape with fervour.              However, it's not the colour of the cape that angers the bull but it’s the movement of the cape. We know this based on many experiments with different coloured capes being stationary and being moved and the bull favoured movement over the colour of the cape every time.
