A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Ovis orientalis aries
Domestic sheep are relatively small ruminants, usually with a crimped hair called wool and often with horns forming a lateral spiral. Domestic sheep differ from their wild relatives and ancestors in several respects, having become uniquely neotenic as a result of selective breeding by humans.
They live in grasslands, deserts, cliffs and mountainous areas of Europe, Asia and North America, although the domesticated are found in all continents of the world.
