Counting Sheep

Can sheep swim?

When we think of sheep, we might think of obedience and low intelligence, but sheep are surprisingly smart animals with excellent problem-solving skills. They can learn and remember different routes around their habitat and can solve obstacles like latches on gates. They also have a complex social structure. Sheep have a very wide field of vision, can see behind themselves without moving their head, and also have a remarkable memory for faces, which plays a crucial role in their social interactions. Most sheep are immune to certain types of snakebite. They can also swim! Although wool creates a lot of drag, making them slow and clumsy, they are capable of navigating through water when necessary.
