Sheep

Calling all animal friends! Do you want to give our animals a little bit of extra love? Why not think about sponsoring our sheep and lambs!

There are over 1 billion sheep in the world, and China has the largest number of sheep in the world.
Adult female sheep are called ewes, and adult male sheep are called rams. Young sheep are called lambs.
A group of sheep is known as a herd, flock, or mob.
Sheep have a field of vision of around 300 degrees. This means they can see behind themselves without having to turn their head.
Sheep are herbivores, which means they eat vegetation (grass).
Sheep have 4 chambers in their stomach, which helps them to break down the food they eat.
Sheep like to stay close to others in a herd, which makes it easier to move them to new pastures altogether.
In 1996, a sheep named Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell.
Sheep are raised on farms for a number of products, including wool and meat.
