There's sheep and goats here. Can you identify them?
Welcome back to the Adventure Brothers show. I'm Cobra. I'm Frog. Today we're going to explore
the differences between sheep and goats. Goats and sheep. Sheep and goats. Let's start with
their similarities. They're closely related. Close, close, close, close. Roughly the same size.
They both are owned by humans. That means they are domesticated. They both have ruminant stomachs.
That means they have four stomachs. They both have rectangular pupils. It helps give them a
better range of vision. They can see 320 to 340 degrees, which helps unspot predators.
Both sheep and goats provide milk and cheese, although it's more common for goats. Both can
have horns too. Let's talk about the differences. A sheep's tail usually hangs down and a goat's
tail usually sticks up. Most sheep do not have horns. There are quite a few that do though.
Usually have thick horns that curl downward. And goats usually have straight horns. But check out
this raka sheep. They're known for those spiky horns. They're from Hungary. Their horns are
very unique and both male and female sheep have this kind. There are goats that have beards and
sheep do not. I wish I had a beard. And sheep have a divided upper lip. And you can also tell by their
fur sometimes. Well it's not consistent among all species. Sheep typically have thick wooly coats
and they need to be cut. That's called shearing. Some breeds have hair coats instead, like this one.
Goats generally have hairy coats, but their hair can be very different from one another. Some can
be curled, some silky, and some coarse. Kind of like we all have different hair. Let's talk about
the way they behave. As far as their eating habits go, sheep will graze. They eat lots of grass from
the ground. Well goats browse and graze. What I mean by browse is that they look for leaves. Swigs,
vines, and shrubs. They have really great agility. They can climb to find food. There's another
behavior difference. When sheep are lost and wander away, they're happy to see their shepherds.
When goats run away, they resist being brought back. Goats are a little more spunky. Goats are
curious. What's this? And they tend to explore more than sheep. Sheep like to stay together.
They're both highly social, but goats are a little more independent. Sheep find it stressful
to be away from the other sheep. They like to be part of their flat. Let's talk babies. Well,
they're both super, super cute. They're called something different. A baby sheep is called a
lamb, and a baby goat is called a kid, even when it's a baby. Here's another interesting thing we
found out. Some goats can have long ears like this one. Look at those long floppy boppy ears.
Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in
a bow? Some sheep have long ears too, like this one. Its ears stand up. These are border lester
sheep. Let's look at this video again. This is a goat, and this is a sheep. Now you know. Hey,

have you felt like a goat? Since I was a kid. I get that joke. Thanks for joining us. Subscribe
