Newly born in the Dutch jungle

I was too late, only by a few minutes, to witness the birth. The little lamb, still wet from the womb, now lies tenderly on the fresh straw bedding. breathing fresh earthly air and already loved by its mother, only bleeding a bit. What a sight.

  And that for a first time me visiting an animal farm alone, with my Canon. To witness this newborn love was pretty touching indeed. Thanks for your reply! Posted 13 years ago

The Domestic sheep

Sheep are quadrupedal, ruminant mammals typically kept as livestock. Like all ruminants, sheep are members of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. Although the name "sheep" applies to many species in the genus ''Ovis'', in everyday usage it almost always refers to ''Ovis aries''.
