All the lambs had diarrhea and some, like this one, weren't standing. The woman was horrified. She picked up the little baby and walked out - hoping no one would see. She took the lamb to a vet and called us. We are now launching an investigation into this local horror show, called a petting zoo.
Lambs can tell the difference between a photograph of a sheep and a photograph of a human.
They can also separate photographs of sheep from goats and some can even tell the difference between the face of a ram and the face of a ewe. A mother sheep and her lamb share a very close relationships. Lambs can become very attached to people too. If a human hangs a piece of his or her clothing outside, the lamb will run to it for safety if scared. Just like humans, sheep parents act to ensure that their offspring play with others their own age.
