Have you ever cuddled up in a warm fluffy blanket or worn cozy wool socks?
Did you know that all of this soft warm goodness comes from a special animal called sheep?
Today we are going to tell you all about these amazing animals
that help keep us warm and provide us with delicious food.
Welcome to Stelio.
Sheep are friendly farm animals that come in all shapes and sizes.
Male sheep are called rams.
Female sheep are called ewes.
And baby sheep are called lambs.
Sheep are found on farms all over the world.
In Britain there are around 44 million sheep.
That's a lot of wool.
And in Australia and New Zealand there are even more sheep than people.
Sheep usually live in big groups called flocks.
Sheep love to munch on tasty grass and plants.
They are great at grazing in green fields.
Did you know that sheep have four stomachs?
This helps them digest their food really well.
After they chew their grass they sometimes bring it back up to chew it again.
This process is called chewing the cud.
A fully grown sheep can be about 80 centimeters tall and can weigh about 100 kilograms.
That's as heavy as five six-year-old kids.
Thank you Leo.
They have soft wooly coats called fleeces which keep them warm in the winter.
When spring comes farmers give them a haircut or shear to take off their fleece.
The fleece can be as heavy as 22 tins of baked beans.
A baby lamb grows inside of its mother for about five months.
After being born a lamb usually drinks its mother's milk for about a few weeks.
By the time they're six months old they can even have lambs of their own.
Sheep's wool is spun into yarn and made into clothes, blankets and carpets.
Different types of sheep give us different types of wool.
Merino sheep have super soft wool that makes warm jumpers.
While Scottish black-faced sheep have rougher wool that is used for carpets.
Even if you get your wooly jumper wet it'll still keep you warm.
Sheep are important in many cultures too.
In New Zealand there's the biggest sheep shearing contest every March.
People compete to see who can shear the fastest.
In Peru farmers dress up their sheep and take them to church for special blessings.
Sheep are amazing animals that gives us lots of things we use every day
like wool, meat and even milk for cheese.
Farmers who take care of sheep are called shepherds.
Sheep can live for about 13 to 15 years.
When you count sheep in your head it might help you feel sleepy.
So give it a try tonight.
Hi, are you licking my head?
Next time you wear a cozy sweater or enjoy a delicious meal
remember the wonderful sheep that helped bring those things to you.
Hungry.
That was so cute.
Yes, yes, your milk is coming.
Oh look at them, it's going to your face.
Oh, hi.
For everybody who has, each lamb gets one bottle.
I'll pass out, how many do we have?
Eight lambs.
I'll pass out eight bottles and then we'll wait until they say go.
So we'll do some shearing, there's more than eight of us here
but I think everyone's going to be good at that.
And we put our bottles in.
Oh, perfect.
One, two, three, four, five, six, go.
I want to grab one that's like that big one.
Beautiful, look at this big belly.
Baby cows are called Kraus.
In this video you'll learn all about the adorable and unique characteristics of baby cows.
You'll be amazed by their playful nature, special milk and the different breeds that exist.
Welcome to studio.
They are called calves until they are one year old.
They are beautiful, they're so little.
Oh, you're a bigger one.
It's a tiny, tiny, they're brand new.
Brand new calves, yes.
Hi, yes, oh hello.
Hi, oh hi.
We don't have food.
We'll come tomorrow and feed you.
Calfs are born with a natural instinct to stand and walk soon after birth.
They are known for their wobbly legs and clumsy steps.
You're going to lick me now.
Calfs drink colostrum, a special first milk full of antibodies
that provide them with essential immunity.
They have a unique digestive system that allows them to efficiently process milk.
Yes, they are licking me, they are licking me too.
As they grow, calves are weaned onto solid food like hay and grains.
Calfs are known for their playful nature and love to frolic in the fields.
They enjoy engaging in games like chasing each other and jumping around.
They are social creatures who enjoy the company of our calves and their mothers.
There are many breeds of calves.
Jersey calves are known for their rich, creamy milk.
Holstein calves are recognizable for their black and white markings.
Angus calves are known for their dark, sleek coat and gentle nature.
Calfs need a nurturing environment to thrive with access to fresh food and water.
It's important to protect calves from harsh weather conditions and potential predators.
Supporting sustainable farming practices
can help ensure a healthy future for calves and their families.
Sirs, are they licking your boots now?
Are they licking your boots again? Very curious, hi!
Why are you licking me?
Oh, look at that.
All right, I think it's done. I think it's finished.
Baby ducks are called ducklings.
Discover five fascinating facts about these adorable creatures
revealing hidden aspects of their lives that you may not have known.
Welcome to Stelio.
The first few days are crucial for ducklings
and they imprint on the first moving objects they see.
This is why it's important for ducklings to be raised with their mother
or a trusted human companion.
This imprinting ensures safety and survival
as they will follow the object they imprinted on for food and protection.
Ducklings have an incredible sense of smell
which helps them locate food and avoid predators.
They can detect even the slightest changes in their environment
using their sensitive beaks.
This ability to smell and taste helps them find the best food sources
and avoid potentially harmful substances.
Despite being born with limited swimming abilities,
ducklings quickly learn to swim
and become skillful in the water within a few days.
They have webbed feet that are perfectly adapted for swimming and diving.
Their natural instinct to swim helps them escape predators and find food.
Ducklings grow at an astonishing rate
maturing rapidly and becoming independent within a few weeks.
They learn essential skills like foraging,
finding shelter and avoiding predators.
As they mature, their downy feathers transform into waterproof plumage
making them even more capable swimmers.
Ducklings have a unique language
using a series of chirps, squeaks and whistles
to communicate with each other and their mother.
These vocalizations are vital for social interactions
warning each other about danger and staying together as a flock.
What is your favorite thing about ducklings?
Yeah, can I see, can I have a look?
Wow, yeah, have a look.
Oh my goodness, it's just so little things
