Information
The
sheep should not be confused with the goat. They are different
in many ways. Sheep do not have a beard like the billy
goat. They also do not have the "goat" odor. There are
still wild sheep around. The largest sheep is the wild
sheep, Argali. The Argali lives in the Altai Mountains
of Siberia and Mongolia. The male can grow up to 4 feet
tall at the shoulders and his horns can spiral about 20
inches around.
Sheep are hardy animals. This means that it can survive
in tough climates, like the cold or dry climates and feed
on different types of grass. Sheep move around in large
groups called flocks. They graze on fresh grass. In the
olden days, a shepard and his dog will watch over the
flock. However, in modern times, some farms are so big
that they have to go on horsebacks and motorcyles to herd
them.
