For 10,000 years they have provided humanity with food and clothing. Sheep were one of the first domesticated animals on earth and to this day have no natural defenses against predators other than the sheep producers who care for them.
Sheep are docile creatures and naturally gregarious, meaning they tend to stay together in groups.
They have poor eyesight, an excellent sense of smell and hear so well it is not uncommon for a lead sheep to wear a bell to help guide the flock. Their hooves are split, allowing them to climb steep inclines if necessary, and they have no top front teeth, which permits them to eat vegetation located very close to the ground. Their unique bite also prevents them from pulling up plant roots and destroying the lands they graze.
