The Zoo Animals

You know, there is a Zoo nearby! And it seems that some animals are loose! Help us to catch them!

 


 

The Sheep

Sheep (Ovis aries) 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. Numbering a little over one billion, domestic sheep are also the most numerous species of sheep. An adult female sheep is referred to as a ewe (/juː/), an intact male as a ram or occasionally a tup, a castrated male as a wether, and a younger sheep as a lamb.

Sheep are most likely descended from the wild mouflon of Europe and Asia. One of the earliest animals to be domesticated for agricultural purposes, sheep are raised for fleece, meat (lamb, hogget or mutton) and milk. A sheep's wool is the most widely used animal fiber, and is usually harvested by shearing. Ovine meat is called lamb when from younger animals and mutton when from older ones. Sheep continue to be important for wool and meat today, and are also occasionally raised for pelts, as dairy animals, or as model organisms for science.

 

This particular fellow seems to be the animal behind the escape! The sheep was the one that told the mouse where and when to dig, the sheep was the one that 'baaaah'ed the plan!

It might be connected to someone known, as sheep in romanian language might be translated as 'miorita'.

So, try to catch the 'boss', the mastermind behind this entire adventure!

 

Good luck!
