A sheep, also known as Ovis aries,[6] is a domesticated ruminant mammal of the genus Ovis.[7] It is characterised by its thick, fleecy coat, which is used to make wool.[7]
History[]
Sheep were the preferred prey of the Antipodean Opaleye and the Common Welsh Green.[4] Hungarian Horntails also preyed on sheep, as well as goats, but would eat humans whenever they could.[4]
The Ancient Greek hero Odysseus slayed Cyclops, a one-eyed giant that lived at the base of Mount Etna, with the help of some sheep.[3]
In the 16th century, Zygmunt Budge moved to the remote island of Hermetray in the Outer Hebrides, where his only company was a flock of sheep that he occasionally used to test out his potions.[1]
On 1 September 1991, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley observed fields of sheep and cattle as they travelled in the Hogwarts Express for the first time.[5]
The portrait of a Shepherdess, located at Hogwarts Castle, had several sheep within it.[2]
There were at least nine sheep in a flock in Hogsmeade.[8]
