Beautiful little lambs

I was sitting near our sheep and enjoying some free time after lunch. Everyone loves looking at the little lambs like me. I was watching what these new born lambs did and I felt good doing it. They look very beautiful and want to be pampered. One ewe gave birth to these three lambs. These lambs are only 2 days old but seem to have learned everything. They can drink mother's milk by themselves. They learn to drink milk after birth. It surprises me. Where human babies are very ignorant after birth, lambs learn survival skills soon after birth.

If you look at the images you will notice that these 2 day old babies are playing with each other. They did not separate from each other. They may know that if they are to survive they must live side by side and never be separated. I think they are social creatures who like to live in groups. Grouping has many advantages such as protecting oneself from predators and not losing sight of the habitat. Our main predators of sheep here are foxes and wild dogs. They sometimes injure sheep.

After the lambs are born, they are left with the mother for milking and they drink the milk themselves. They always prefer to stay close to their mother and drink milk as needed. They have not yet learned to eat grass. But will learn to eat grass very quickly. As you can see in the last image they are drinking milk and they are not helped.

These lambs will one day grow up and grow their strong horns. If you get stung by these horns, you may bleed even though you see them harmless now. Sheep are very strong. I am very afraid of big sheep and never go near them. Sheep have a very good memory. Here the sheep are grazed on grass fields. They can return home on themself after finishing eating grass. The value of sheep meat and wool is very good. So my sister takes care of these sheep on her own responsibility.
