7. The other sheep and I are getting pretty hungry! What might we want to eat?

Answer: grass

The other sheep and I sometimes travel in flocks, eating grass. Travelling together makes it more difficult for the mean animals that want to eat us to get us!

8. It is difficult for my sheep friends and I to recognize each other's faces.

Answer: False

If it were, how would I keep track of my family and friends? I can recognize up to 50 other sheep and know their same faces for at least two years.

Answer: all of these animals could eat us

Even animals such as domestic dogs could eat us. We stick together to avoid being eaten.

10. Being a sheep, what qualities am I likely to possess?

Answer: gregarious and precocial

We sheep are gregarious in the sense that we like to stick together in order to stay safe from predators. We are precocial in that we are very independent right from birth, not taking very long to walk.
