Description: The wild sheep was the greatest ancestor of our first herbivorous mammal, and our second animal that's tamed by humans in the Zargos Mountains of Anatolia, from 9000BCE to 8500BCE, to onwards to today. The sheep! Many wild sheep used their hooves and climbing ability to retreat to near-vertical rocky bluffs and cliffs, where few predators can follow. They have big horns, only for rams, which used for fighting each other for dominance of their herd, and for their mates. We domesticated the sheep for meat, fiber, milk, leather, pelt, vellum, pets, show, racing, research, guarding, fighting, and ornamental. The predators of the sheep, are consisted of dogs(e.g. jackals, coyotes, dingoes, wolves, wild dogs, etc.), cats(pumas, jaguars, leopards, lions, tigers, etc.), bears(black, grizzly, and brown bears), hyenas(except for the aardwolf), thylacines(also known as striped coyotahs), birds-of-prey(eagles, falcons, killer parrots, vultures, and even big owls), badgers, and even feral pigs. We have dogs who protect the sheep, camels, donkeys, llamas, and/or ostriches to guard the sheep flock to protect them from pesty carnivores. We do know that the sheep is one of the animals who are in the Bible, and the ones who classified as farm animals. Did you know that the female sheep named Dolly, whom she has the most DNA for all the animals, even included sheep. The classic version of this, as when we sleep, we can dream and count sheep. The Jacob sheep might be a close similar symbol of the daemon, but they are used as ornamental and guard animals, to protect their farm property from theft or vandalism, also that these multi-horned sheep can defend other livestock from predators.
