Humans have caused wild animals to shrink and domestic animals to grow, according to a new study out of the University of Montpellier in southern France. Researchers studied tens of thousands of animal bones from Mediterranean France covering the last 8,000 years to see how the size of both types of animals has changed over time.
Sheep have square eyes too
The pupils of sheep and goats can appear round when fully dilated. (I grew up on a farm with both.)
So the pic is legit? I find that difficult to believe
The photo was done by Yann Le Poul who seems to be a Frenchman who photographs animals. You can see the photo credited to him by clicking on the photo and then a quick web search will bring up pages where he has won some awards for his animal photography.
Yeah, it looks totally unexceptional to me.
If you haven’t seen enough sheep or goats to tell the two apart, maybe it’s your general unfamiliarity that’s tripping your uncanny sense?
