A word, both strange and familiar, yet unknown to more than 90% of the Earth’s population. It’s even a riddle, a word forgotten by English speakers, but that refers to something we depend so much on:

Ovine

Yes, we’re talking about sheep here.

  A fairly common livestock animal, with the mixed appearance of a small horse with a lot of fur. Both useful as food and by using it’s wool, which can be made into many different types of clothing, which protects us from the cold, the weather and from being naked (Though that varies with people).

  Wrongfully called a “stupid animal”, sheep are simply among the most carefree of all animals in our planet. It’s not that they want to be eaten by predators (such as wolves or wild dogs), it is only that they do not consider the rest of the world as much of a threat to themselves, and even if they do, they are extremely prone to discussing the next thing to do with their brethren with their own language.

  This is something that regularly doesn’t end well for the sheep, due to the fact that an animal will eat a sheep quicker than the time these animals require to get to an exact consensus (A rare phenomenon among animals), leading to the part where sheep run in opposite directions to escape the danger, or for the daily farmer requiring to use intimidation and sheep dogs to move his flock around.

  At the very least, they are useful, loyal, and if it helps, stress-free animals.
