THURSDAY# 29

Do you have your coats? We’re heading to the mountains of South East Asia today to meet some sheep! It’s Super Surprise Thursday, so let’s head out on today’s adventure!

MEET THE BLUE SHEEP!

   Range/Habitat: South East Asia/ mountains

   Diet: Herbivore: grasses, shrubs

   Length/Weight: 4- 5 ft/ 55-175 lbs

   Conservation Status: Common

 

 

Fun Facts:

  • Blue sheep are also called the Bharal.
  • Their slate gray fur has a tinge of blue to it.
  • Blue sheep’s color is perfect to help them camouflage in their rocky mountain habitats.
  • Both male and female Blue sheep have horns. The females have slightly smaller ones.
  • Their horns turn upwards and outwards.
  • Blue sheep are excellent climbers.

 

These beautiful sheep sure are cool! We just love that they can rock climb too! Have you ever been rock climbing? An elephant and horse aren’t really meant for sure adventures, so we’ll watch from the bottom.
