As many Ratau voicelines I could record before I had to update my PS5, he definitely does have more. I think similarly to the Bishops, 8-16 at the very least
Sheep things
to help with writing if you so choose
Sheep's wool transitions to hair on their legs. Where exactly this transition happens depends on breed and genetics. Breeds that are all white will have white/cream hair, while breeds like the Suffolk and the Hampshire will typically have white wool and dark legs (brown or black).
Sheep get playful and bounce around. It can kinda look like a pogo stick on four legs. Absolutely look up lambs playing on YouTube they're the cutest little suckers. If you've ever seen deer bound, it's kinda similar.
Some of my sheep really liked their ears rubbed and/or the tops of their heads. Although I also has one who thought shiny things were just the best and chewed on my belts and ribbons and tried to snatch someone's keys so each sheep is a little different.
Sheep have this wax called lanolin that is what helps their wool repel water and keep their skin clean. It also helps protect any wounds to the skin. It used to be in a lot of hand creams and certain brands still due but it's a pretty big allergen so it's pretty uncommon these days. Works wonderfully though.
Shearing is a good thing. It can actually be more harmful to a sheep to go without shearing for more than a year or so (this is partly due to human interference with breeding, they've been domesticated and selectively breed for too many hundreds of years). Wool breeds are more like every 6 months. Most people try to do it soon after the last frost. Early to mid spring so that wool has more time to come in for the winter months. In my area we have this weed called foxtail, that burrows through hair and wool and will bury itself into the skin of animals and can cause infections. For us, shearing is vital to our animal's health.
Terms for sheep.
Less than a year old: Lamb
Year Olds are sometimes called yearlings
Over a year: Sheep
A Ewe is a female sheep, a Ram is a male sheep, and a Wether is a castrated male sheep.
Common terms/phrases: Ewe Lamb, Ram Lamb, Wether Lamb
Sheep actually have long wooly tails (think labrador tail length but not as maneuverable. It hangs between the legs), but they are often docked when they are young to help with health. Fecal matter and urine gets on the tail and can increase health risks for things like infections.
I'm most familiar with the Hampshire-Suffolk crossbreed. They were bred for human consumption. Different breeds have different characteristics, different behaviors, different tendencies.
Feel free to hit me up if you happen to have any sheep questions. I have a decent amount of knowledge and I'm happy to share.
Anywho. Hope this helps! Happy culting!!
We watched this female jaguar resting during midday heat (40+ degrees). Suddenly, a massive male jaguar jumped out of the bushes. The female's adrenaline kicked in and her pupils turned blue for a second, as you can see on the shots.

made these studying cat genetics over the past 2 weeks!
i felt like there weren't enough visual guides of cat genetics so i went ahead and made some simple ones, my main references were Sparrow's Garden the website, Sparrow's Garden the blog, Messybeast, and The Little Carnivore.
Please only use these for general reference and not for tracing, using as a base, or reposting!! You can trace the poses for practice, but please don't post them if you do so. Please don't use them as a free Base, either.
I just wanted to say.. your blog makes me SO HAPPY! I don't know what it is about birds but they make me smile and go crazyyyy! I love them so much! I was wondering, since you are the bird expert, do you know any interesting green colored birds? :>
thank you!!! And yes, there's so many interesting green birds! (DID YOU KNOW: many birds APPEAR green, but their feathers are only structured that way. the only 'true' green pigment in birds is turacoverdin, found only in turacos!)
There's the Javan Green-Magpie, now sadly critically endangered
A personal favorite & common pet, the Indian Ringneck
Couldn't mention turacos without including them...this one is a White-Cheeked Turaco
Double-eyed fig parrot...love how vibrant they are
green broadbill...gotta love a bird with a snoot
the iridescent shine of the Green Pygmy-Goose!
the green pheasant...he sure is green and a pheasant
the green inca (there's lots of nice green hummingbirds, but having green in the name means he takes the cake)
And, of course, the Green Jay.
A small guide for people who struggle with this area
What color are these kitties (sorry for blank ask)
fancies!
red (flame) point
black (brown) tabby (probably a bengal)
(i think these next ones are potentially highlanders? may be wrong)
black spotted tabby, seal lynx point, and black ghost tabby
these are some pretty rare appearances so i'm definitely not 100% on those last three
1.) Swaddled Babies
2.) Flying Duck Orchid
3.) Hooker’s Lips Orchid
4.) Ballerina Orchid
5.) Monkey Orchid
6.) Naked Man Orchid
7.) Laughing Bumblebee Orchid
8.) White Egret Orchid
