Sheep will not allow anything (even each other, with exceptions) to come within it's flight zone. Sheep feel things and have language. they use various sounds to communicate different emotions and messages among flock members. Farmers can easily tell when a sheep is in pain or sick.

Dolly -- the world's first animal to be cloned from an adult cell -- became the most famous sheep in history after her birth was announced by the Roslin Institute in Scotland in 1997. Dolly was born July 5 1996 from three different mothers. Her genetic mother provided the DNA, a second ewe provided the egg into which the DNA was injected and a third carried the resulting cloned embryo and gave birth to Dolly. It took 276 attempts before the experiment was successful. The birth of Dolly was hailed as a scientific breakthrough. Dolly became a superstar and seemed to enjoy the constant human attention.
