Fun Fact: Sheep have panoramic vision. They benefit from a natural 300-degree field of vision afforded by large rectangular pupils. They can also rotate their eyes, allowing them to maintain panoramic awareness even while ducked down to graze.

Also, sheep are the only species other than humans that consistently produce homosexual individuals, with approximately 10% of all rams showing no interest in ewes.

And if a sheep ends up on its back, it cannot right itself and needs help to get back on its feet. Only, you shouldn't turn it over because that movement risks getting its guts all tangled up, so you need to kinda raise it up by its front legs. This part isn't relevant to Beastmen (who presumeably have functioning arms and do not get stuck on their backs) but I do find it cute how sheep are closer to the pop image idea of a tortoise on its back than an actual tortoise is.

... Sheep are also cool, is what I'm saying.

I'm pretty sure that's just incorrect. We have very little data on a whole crapload of species and several bird species I know of have gay couples and mate for life, so that seems clearly wrong on the face of it.

Like, I'm sure sheep produce gay individuals at a decent rate, but them being the only species? No chance.

Sheep are (to my knowledge) the only other species where we consistently see not only individuals displaying homosexual behavour, but also actively shunning heterosexual behavour. In human terms, it can be difficult to tell if the mlm penguin couple is together because the birds are gay or if they are two bisexuals who are together. Whereas with sheep, we have the data to tell that no, a lot of these rams mounting other rams are specifically and only interested in said rams.

I'm more than a bit dubious of the logic of 'we can't say if they're gay because they're monogamous'. I mean yes, it's technically true, but it's really stretching definitions. My larger point was more that we have a lot more data on sheep than most other animals because they are domesticated, and thus making definitive statements that only sheep do something when we have a lot of species who we don't have data about one way or another isn't likely to be very accurate.

WHY ARE ALL OF YOU DISCUSSING HYENA PEGGING AND SHEEP HOMOSEXUALITY?!?

CAN YOU PEOPLE BE NORMAL FOR FIVE SECONDS?!?
 
If sheepfolk wins there needs to be at least a few jokes at the expense of the Welsh.
Also, I kinda hope there is a blood clone ability for vampires if only for the Dolly the Sheep references.
 
I was good with the cool sheep facts, but then we got to weird sheep facts. I still want a sheepypire, because for some reason it makes me think of cult of the lamb.
 
I can't tell if I'm more bothered by all the information about sheep sexuality people apparently just know off the top of their head, or the fact that a decent chunk of it is misinformation. I mean really, Sheep, the only species with explicitly gay individuals? Has this person ever even heard of Koala's?

If it makes you feel better, the 'sheep are the only species with recorded gay members' thing is sorta implied on the "Homosexual behavior in animals" wikipedia page. So...that may explain some things.
