CHARACTERSTICS OF SHEEP (based on information from Wikipedia.org)
Sociable—
like staying
close to
other sheep,
can become
stressed
when sepa-
rated from
their flock
Followers—
tend to
follow a
leader (the
leader may
simply be
the first
sheep to
move)

Herbivores—eat only plants, mainly grass (hay during the
winter); very food oriented (you can get them to follow you if
you offer food)
Require clean water—refuse water that is covered in scum
or algae

Usually thought of as unintelligent—but can recognize indi-
vidual faces of people and sheep and remember them for
years; a University of Illinois study found their IQ to be
just below pigs and equal with cattle
Good senses—sensitive to noise;
excellent sense of smell; great
peripheral vision (can see behind
themselves without turning their
heads); however, they have poor
depth perception, so shadows
bother them, and they tend to
move out of the dark into well-lit
areas
