Safari Ltd. Safari Farm - Sheep - Quality Construction from Phthalate, Lead and BPA Free Materials - for Ages 3 and Up

The sheep is one of the earliest domesticated animals. There are over one billion sheep in the world, and their wool is one of the earliest and most frequently utilized animal fibers. There are over 200 breeds of domestic sheep in the world today. The flocking behavior of sheep, and their inclination to follow a dominant sheep, allowed for them to be domesticated over 10,000 years ago. Sheep are like goats, and both are in the subfamily Caprinae. However, they are in separate genera and thus any hybrid animals produced will be infertile, like the mule. Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead--free materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages. Realistic, educational, and fun, this figurine is suitable for a range of interests, including collectors, enthusiasts, teachers, and kids.
