Different

Do german (or french) sheep chew differently than an American one? Have you had the chance to watch a sheep in Iowa to make that comparison?

Ok.. So that was interesting. This sheep looked like it needed some serious jaw surgery as hers was unhinged.

PS
This site is pretty cool. You can choose an animal and see what it says in other languages.
