I’m a sheep

I was reading an article about the Icelandic sheep written by someone who seems to love it, and I discovered a funny thing. It seems that Icelanders have inherited their national characteristics from too close contact for too many centuries with our beloved sheep:

The Icelandic breed is not a docile breed. They are alert and fast on their feet. Most of them are very individualistic and flocking instinct is poor. They tend to spread out which makes them good users of sparse pasture. [...] It has been reported they are aggressive toward other sheep and will usually dominate in those situations. [...] Some are nervous but when they get to know their shepherd they get quite friendly.

Updated: I didn’t notice the article was hidden in a frame (gawd those are annoying!). Here’s a link to the actual article.
