Grim Reaper 6 Posted August 12 #1 Share Posted August 12 Fat-tailed sheep are a type of domestic sheep mainly found in arid areas and known for accumulating fat, mainly in the rear part of their bodies, which not only gives them a unique look but also helps them stay cool in extreme heat.. Native to the Middle East and North Africa, fat-tailed sheep have been around for thousands of years, but some people are still oblivious to their existence, mainly because of their geographical distribution. In the 5th century BC, the Greek historian Herodotus wrote about fat-tailed sheep and how shepherds made small wheeled carts to keep their animals’ droopy tails from touching the ground. Although there are several fat-tailed sheep breeds, most of them have broad fat-tails where large amounts of fat are accumulated in buttock-like deposits in the hind parts of a sheep, on both sides. Some of them end up looking like they had a Brazilian butt lift, which makes them really popular with breeders.. https://www.odditycentral.com/animals/fat-tailed-sheep-have-some-serious-junk-in-the-trunk.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ell Posted August 12 #2 Share Posted August 12 So their fatty tail serves as food storage and is comparable to the camel's hump(s). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
