Europe and Asia serve as the ancient geographic origins for domesticated sheep. Iran formed a critical geographic envelope as a major center for the initial animal domestication.

Global human agricultural movements spread these livestock animals across nearly every single continent worldwide.

Their horizontal slit-shaped pupils deliver excellent peripheral vision spanning up to 320 degrees.

Good hearing makes them highly sensitive to sudden loud sounds. More than one billion exist today, making them the most common ovine species globally.

Grasses and other short pasture roughages make up the full natural diet of these grazing herbivores. Highly flexible lips and strong tongues allow them to select specific plant parts. Chosen pieces are much higher in overall nutrition and far easier to digest.
