Field Notes
Description:
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.
Habitat:
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.
