The cuteness scale is high!
Famous Sheep Names
The sheep was one of the first animals to be domesticated since we know the history of the world. About 11 thousand years ago they already played an important role in society by supplying populations with their wool to protect them from the cold. over 1400 breeds of sheep around the world. In the 21st century they continue to make history, as you will see below. Our list of names for sheep starts with inspirations from famous sheep names:
dolly the clone
This list of names for sheep needs to start with Dolly, the first cloned mammal on the face of the earth [1] and, consequently, the most famous sheep in the world. Dolly was among us humans, from the 5th of July 1996 to the 14th of February 2003, she gave birth to six puppies, but at the end of her life she had to be slaughtered due to a lung infection. Her name was a reference to Dolly Parton, American actress and singer.
In the image, Dolly the sheep is lifeless, but immortalized in the history of science.
Shrek the wool ball
In 2004 New Zealand sheep Shrek also made the news to be found on her farm after 6 years lost and an accumulation, amazingly, of 27 kilos of wool, resulting from the lack of shearing. Her grooming was done on a live program. She died at age 16 from old age problems [2].
Chris the wool record holder
Another little lamb made famous for its wool flaunting was Chris. In 2015 this Australian sheep was found to be five times the size of a normal sheep due to excess hair. She broke the record for the Shrek sheep, discussed earlier, and had 42 kilograms of fleece sheared. She died at age 10 in 2019.
Montauciel, the first crew member of a balloon
Long before the dog reached space, on September 19, 1783, the first manned flight of a balloon [4], in France, had as crew guinea pigs a duck, a rooster and the sheep Montauciel (who in French means ’ascent to heaven’). The hot air balloon took off from the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, in a flight that lasted 8 minutes, landing safely and everyone survived. The invention was made by the brothers Montgolfier, Joseph and Jacques, and King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were spectators at the scene.
Methusela, the oldest sheep in the world
That was, literally, an 'o-old'. Bad puns aside, despite not having been registered by Guinness, the Methuselina sheep became known for being the oldest in the world when it reached 25 years of age, and the expectation of a sheep is 10 to 12 years. Methuselina had a tragic end and died falling off a cliff.
