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.

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. Lambs learn which foods are preferable by observing their mothers. They retain the knowledge for life, and have been shown to utilize it even after not having encountered specific foods for years. Sheep have been known to help blind sheep around by nudging them with their shoulders.
