Congratulations!
You are correct. Sheep eat plants.
|
Sheep like to graze. Graze means the sheep eat growing grasses. Sheep
are ruminants. Ruminant means sheep have three extra parts to their
stomach. Their special stomach allows them to digest plants and grasses
that humans and most other animals cannot. Sheep graze where many
crops cannot grow and eat plants that many other animals will not.
Grazing sheep are good for wildlife like deer and elk. Grazing sheep
help other plants grow that deer and elk like to eat.
Sheep have split hooves which can help them climb rocky hills. Sheep
do not have any top front teeth. The roof of their mouth is hard so
they can bite and eat grass. Sheep are gentle animals and do not bite
humans.
What big event do sheep attend every year?
A) Birthday Party
B) Family Gathering
C) Haircut Party
D) Sheep Olympics
