       It took a physics paper for me to learn that a small group of sheep is called a "flock". https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-022-01769-8#Science #Physics #Biology?

       @skepteis I'm surprised that a flock of sheep is not called something witty like a  yarn 😀

       @skepteis @madamscientist that’s when you have a yarn of followers on social media.

       @skepteis i didn't need this article to know that, I've observed it from young age ;). Additional info? whenever sheep family exists on the herd, e.g. grandmother, aunts, sisters... they stick together and eat together.

       @DNPFred Interesting, didn't know about the family ties. What I always notice is that even when they have grass everywhere, they often prefer to eat out of your hand 😁 Picture from last week:

       @skepteis those who do that are usually former lambs that have been fed with 🍼

       @DNPFred Makes sense. My cat who got the bottle also eats everything as long as she can eat it from a hand 😊

       @skepteis when I was a kid, we had a few lambs we bottle fed and grew as ewes. They were truly behaving as pets.
