Hi there! Let’s talk about sheep and learn about why female sheep, called ewes, don’t butt heads like the boy sheep, called rams.
Sheep are furry animals that like to stay in groups. In sheep families, there are boys (rams) and girls (ewes).
The boy sheep, or rams, usually have horns. These horns are big and strong. Rams use their horns to show off and sometimes to fight each other. It’s like they are playing a game to be the best!
On the other hand, ewes don’t have horns. This is one reason why they don’t butt heads like the rams.
Ewes are very gentle and friendly creatures. Instead of butting heads, they like to spend time cuddling with each other. They might play, munch on grass, or chat with their friends.
Butting heads can be a way for rams to be strong and show how tough they are. Since ewes don’t have horns, they don’t need to do that. They can be safe and still play nicely with their friends!
So, even though both ewes and rams are sheep, they have different ways of acting. Ewes are sweet and don’t need to butt heads, while rams like to show their strength with their horns. Isn't it cool how nature makes each kind of sheep special?
Now you know a bit more about ewes and rams and why ewes don’t butt heads!
