[Jacob-list] Facts

[Mary Hansson]

Kathey and all,
 
If they can remember only 50 sheep faces, how is it that flocks that are
larger than that seem to have pecking orders that work consistently?
Sheep definitely do have a pecking order, and if you watch them long
enough, you can figure out the line-up.  My bet is they know more than
we think they know.  They certainly know what I am thinking----and how
to mess up my day when it is the most hairy :o))

This was in my e-mail this morning, and I thought it was cool!

"Sheeps can recognize other sheep faces like humans do.  They 
   can remember up to 50 sheep faces."

Not sure how they figured it out, but it's something to think about!
