The stages are:
A baby sheep, called a lamb, is born. The mother sheep (a ewe) feeds it milk. The lamb grows bigger and its woolly coat gets thicker until it becomes an adult sheep.
💡 Fun Facts
- Lambs can stand up and walk just a few minutes after they are born.
- Sheep have excellent memories and can recognise up to 50 other sheep faces for more than two years.
- A sheep's thick woolly coat is called a fleece, which is sheared off once a year to be made into wool for clothes and blankets.
