Sheep have eyes with rectangular pupils that allow them to see everything except what is directly behind them. Imagine being able to look at your own ears!  Sheep also have a split in the middle of their upper lip.  This allows them to feel what they are eating and pick the best grasses out of even the roughest pasture. 

Sheep are amazing and we have some of the best at Rikki’s Refuge Animal Sanctuary!!
