It's not fair to keep them as pets, Gyps!    They keep falling over on level ground.. on account of them having legs on one side shorter than the other for running around the hills.

  That's very similar to what my Dad told me about the sheep that live on the Pennines.  He told me that they had longer back legs, so when they were walking up the hills they were level if they wanted to stop to eat.  It wasn't until I was 19 and enthusiastically informing my boyfriend at the time of this very interesting fact on a drive up to Scotland that I actually thought about it and felt very very stupid.
