Not many people know that but in the ancient times numerous hordes of miniature sheep (less than a foot tall) roamed steppes of Inner Mongolia and jungles of Amazon basin. Later most of them became extinct but about a hundred little flocks exist in various places on every continent. It seems that one of these flocks lives in a forest nearby because every once in while the miniature sheep come out and join our flock. On the pictures you can see some regular size sheep for scale. I played with the idea of starting a flock of prehistoric miniatures (they definitely would be a hit with every petting zoo there is) but the ones who join our flock immediately begin to grow (better pasture, I reckon) and in a few months look just like regular sheep.
