How Sheep Communicate


Sheep can show and recognize emotion by facial expressions with other sheep.
When they experience stress or isolation, they show signs of depression by hanging their heads and avoiding positive actions.
Sheep make different vocalizations to communicate with one another. The bleats of individual sheep are distinctive, enabling the ewe and her lambs to recognize each other's bleats.
Each mother can recognize her lambs by their bleats alone.
Sheep can amplify and pinpoint sound with their ears
Sheep will communicate with their shepard especially when they are hungry and want their bottle or nuts.
