Is it a sheep or a goat?

[purplepoppy]

In previous question I learnt that many people couldn't distinguish between a leek and an onion.

So just for fun and continuing the same theme can you tell the difference between a sheep and a goat. Here are five photos A to E can you separate the sheep from the goats?

Answer. A & B are goats the rest are sheep.

[Rosexøxø]

C is tricky could be both in my opinion like on or the other not exactly both

but a and b are for me definitely goats and d and e are definitely sheep for me. They all at one point interchanged except for d. I know those are like rams mountain sheep 🐏.

I can only honestly tell when they don’t have a lot of hair. Im used to goats having fine straight hair and sheep having curly full hair. I feel like goats have weird line almond ish eyes while sheep have round eyes.

i feel like usually goats have sideways ears and sheep have maybe downward or maybe vice versa

and goats have like a thin lip that shows but sheep have maybe a covered like snout? I don't know how to explain, but I’ve seen lips emphasize and noticeable on goats.

Other than mountain sheep I’m used to only goats having horns as well so this was making really guess.

I think what aids me here is the thought that goats have upturned snouts while sheep have long wider and straight or more downward snouts.

Regardless I feel like sheep and goats are distant relatives so it’s not a far stretch anyhow, and I’ve definitely not seen most of these kinds of cattle. I assume they’re from Europe. More uk based but some Scottish in there possibly. Ofc the ones with thick fur and horns I assume need their mountainous regions- more concrete than pasture. ⛰️ 🏜️🏕️.

Interested in the reveal! 👍

[Rosexøxø]

After double checking for the lips I’m confident in my answer 😆 I’m gonna double check the eyes now

[Rosexøxø]

Yeah couldn’t see the eyes as I’d hope so had to go with facial features 👍 fun question

Except this one looks like neither 😂

See it just depends for me. I only know of some breeds.

Update: gosh I hate that I missed one! FRICK THIS WORLD 🌎 😂

[DeeDeeDeVour]

To me, A & B are goats.

C, D & E are sheep.

I used to voluntarily tend to goats & sheep in animal sanctuaries.

[goaded]

Well done!

[goaded]

Tricky! I'm 99% sure A, D & E are sheep (E are Jacobs, with the four horns, right?). B & C, I could go either way, but since I don't trust you, I'll say sheep. B could be a shaggy goat, I suppose.

This reminds me of that country child who could identify every animal in a picture book, lion, giraffe, snake, etc., but, strangely, not the cow. When pressed, the youngster hazarded, "is it Hereford cross Charolais?"

[goaded]

Damn!

[Skinhead-1979]

I don't know... My guess is 'A' and 'D' are Sheep; the others Goats.

This video never grows old 🤣

Reminds me of the elephant one.
"A friggin elephant"
"What?
" African elephant"

I beg your forgiveness for not knowing the difference between a sheep and a goat. I deserve to be punished in a way that will always remind me of my failure. Shepherd me into a small pen, restrain me, and then use large, rough shears to remove my testicles.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Oh my, such cruelty, I suck with animal classification, even in my own language so... In English? Yeah, cruel ! Fine, I'll try:

Well, since my tool to differentiate is to look at horns

A sheep
B C D E goats

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Update:
Yeah I guess 1 stars out of five is already something lol

[Ms_Facesitter]

Wow! I'm going sheep on all of them! :p
What's the E species that's crazy.

[Rosexøxø]

Jacob ram/ jacob sheep. Was curious too so had to look up! Looks I don't know mythological or maybe Jurassic lol 😂

[Ms_Facesitter]

The welsh mountain goat is another one that I like. But a goat though

[purplepoppy]

Jacob sheep are the ones Jacob from the bible was supposed to have kept.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Beautiful little fun fact thank you :)

A and B are goats, the rest are sheep

[AviatorTom]

I'm no expert... they all look like sheep to me.

[paledreams]

Sheep.
I watched watched enough Classic Postman Pat and Alf the Farmer. 😋👀

[goaded]

Did you ever notice that the original Postman Pat sheep were made by someone who'd only ever seen cats? The slits in their eyes were vertical, not horizontal.

[MrGSpotHer]

Are they all sheep? And the last ones look like they just escaped from Mordor what the hell

[SaoirseS]

I think B is a goat, the rest are sheep.

[dustybiker2]

C and D are goats the rest are sheep.

[dustybiker2]

The coat is the giveaway.

[dustybiker2]

C and E (damn audio text)

[spartan55]

A is a sheep, the rest are goats.

[exitseven]

thre goats are in A.

[thearchjoker]

A and B are sheep the rest are goats

[OtterMan68]

C & E are goats

[Wiredone]

A and b are sheep. The rest are goats

[noohair]

You Brits eat weird stuff. lol

[Ladsin2]

A & B goats, C-5 Sheep?

[thearchjoker]

Nah C is definitely a goat, the confusing one is B

[Ladsin2]

@thearchjoker Tail turns down. I think all sheep have a downturned tail, but goats have an upturned. C looks like a bighorn.

[Ladsin2]

I deserve MHO for getting it right, don't I?

[thegreenyogi]

Sheep.
