Sheep do not usually attack or are aggressive in nature. They love to keep a safe distance from predators, as well as humans. Female sheep are docile and do a rapid flight to survive the attack of predators. The natural instinct of a sheep is to flee but not fight with the upcoming danger.

Sheep teeth are unique as they lack upper incisor, still they can easily cut their food using only lower set of incisor. A sheep’s teeth can be used to estimate its age by seeing their lower set of incisor especially up to the age of four.

Cows prefer living in large, open areas where there is a water source nearby and the temperature remains moderate. They live in the grasslands, forests, and pastures of different regions across the globe, including South Asia, Africa, the United States, Europe, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia, among others.

Black cows with white spots are usually identified as Holsteins but can also be of other breeds. There is a clever logic behind their pied existence: it confuses horseflies who would otherwise lay eggs on the cow’s body. Most dairy cows carry similar markings, but the coloring may vary.

Cows cry when they’re in distress or feel lonely. They go through complex emotions, much like humans, and experience sadness, fear, grief, and even joy. Usually, they shed tears and bellow when they’re sad and sprint around when happy. It is easy to observe a cow’s behaviour since they are expressive animals.
