When we think of the typical sheep, we probably think of the same, white-faced sheep. But there are actually over 80 different breeds of sheep. They're covered in short, dense wool which can range from a cream colour to a dark chocolate brown. They re generally very timid and gentle animals, but are great team players. They re always found in herds to protect themselves from predators. Within these herds, the female sheep, called ewes, are the leaders. They have incredible flocking instincts, so when one sheep goes in one direction, they all follow. That s why farmers use sheepdogs to control where the herd is going.
