Sheep senses and social cognition Sheep generally are held in low regard as far as cognition and social skills are concerned. However there is now interesting evidence from studies of their behaviour and brain function that they have highly sophisticated social and emotional recognition skills using faces, voices and smell. They are able to recognize and remember many diferent sheep and humans for several years or more and appear to have some capacity for forming mental images of the faces of absent individuals. The precence of such social cognition abilities in this species means that we must pay careful attention to welfare factors such as the composition and stability of their social environment as well as the nature of our own interactions with them. To many humans sheep are regarded as being as close to an automaton and amindless animal
When you think about the world's longest manmade structures, China and Great Britain (Stonehenge) spring to mind. Very rarely does the Australian continent get a mention, which is a shame, because the Dog Fence, or Dingo Fence, is the longest structures on earth. The Dingo Fence is a barrier that was built in Australia during the 1880s and finished in 1885.This fence was built only on one purpose: to stop dingoes (Australia’s wild dogs) from killing sheep. It is one of the longest structures on the planet, and the world's longest fence. it’s 3,307 miles long. That makes about 5,320 km. That is about two and a half times longer than the Great Wall of China. The fence starts near the coast of Great Australian Bight and ends up in the eastern part of Queensland in the Bunya Mountains, not far from the Pacific Ocean. At the time, it was the longest man-made structure in the world. It was only partly

Each city is the capital of the state in which it is situated. Most of the factories are concentrated in or around the big cities. They produce goods for the motor-car, machine-building, clothing and food industries. Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth are the country's main ports. Agriculture is the main occupation in Australia. Wheat and sugar are the main agricultural crops, fruit-growing is also highly developed. Australia is famous for its sheep. The great sheep-farms, called sheep-stations are found in many parts of the country. Today there are about fifteen million people in Australia, most of them are of British origin. There are now only 40000 full aborigines in the country. The Commonwealth of Australia is a self-governing federal state. Formally the head of the state is the King or Queen of England represented by the Governor-General. The Commonwealth of Australia consists of six states and two territories: the Federal Capital Territory and the Northern Territory

Introduction I'll tell you a little about Australia. Australia is a continent In the southern hemisphere. The area is 7.7 million square km. The capital of Australia is Canberra. The population is 17 million. The official language is English. Australia The Outback is more than two-thirds of Australia, but its population is less than 100,000. Many people live on sheep or cattle stations which are enormous farms. There are a few cattle stations, which are as large as the country of England .The nearest neighbourhood is perhaps a hundred kilometers away, the nearest city is 1,500 kilometre away. People travel by road or by air. On the roads you often see road trains carry cattle from the cattle station .Small aero planes are used to take people ,food ,post and machines. Radio is used to

Scotland symbol The thistle has been an important Scottish symbol for more than 500 years. Loch Ness People belive that there is a stange, huge monster in one of the lochs in the Highlands. Sheep You can see hundreds or eve thousands sheep on the hillsides.

However, it achieves high levels of efficiency and productivity. Britain is self-sufficient in 58 per cent of all types of food and animal feed. Large parts of Britain, notably in Scotland and Wales, are suitable only for grazing. Overall, in the first half of the 1990s about 39 per cent of agricultural land was under pasture, another 27 per cent under rough grazing, and the remainder under crops or lying fallow. Over half of all full-time farms are devoted to dairy or beef farming, or sheep. Cattle and sheep contribute more than 40 per cent of the value of gross agricultural output. Arable farming is concentrated mainly in eastern and south-central England and in eastern Scotland. The main crops grown are wheat, barley, oilseed rape, sugar beet, potatoes and oats. There is also a significant horticultural industry producing a variety of vegetables, orchard and soft fruits, and bulbs and flowers. The high productivity of the arable sector has been
The Central Lowland lie south of the Scottish Highlands. This region is a gently rolling plain. It has best farmland, and richest coal deposits. The Southern Uplands rise gently south of the Central Lowlands. This is a region of rounded, rolling hills. 4.What are the possibilities of land use in Scotland? Tourism in the mountains, there you can ski and climb mountains. In the north there doesn't live much people, so there people raise sheep or go fishing. In the Central Lowlands, people earn living from farming and there is Scotland's richest coal deposit. In the Southern Uplands people graze sheep. 5.Describe the relief of England. England's terrain mostly comprises low hills and plains, especially in central and southern England. However, there are uplands in the north, for example there are the Pennines, which is a region of rounded uplands. West of the Pennines there is the Lake District where are quiet lakes and low mountains
Should cloning be banned ? Cloning is using genetic engineering to make exact copies of living animals and plants. One of the most famous cloning processes involved a sheep named Dolly. The sheep was the first mammal cloned from adult DNA. Since then it has become part of real life and the subject of public debate. For some people, human cloning is acceptable in medicine in spite of the criticism that it is repulsive. Firstly, cloning the organs can save many lives. For example when a person needs an organ and can not find a donor, doctors could just give her the cloned organ. People would not need to donate their organs anymore.
The weather in Australia is warm and pleasant. January and February are the warmest months, with average temperatures between 65° and 70° F. June and July are the coldest months, with an average July temperature of about 50° F, except in the Australian Alps, where temperatures average 35° F. The middle part of the country is called the outback. The outback does not get very much rain and is very dry. Not very many people live in the outback. In the outback, there are some sheep and cattle ranches (property.) There are about ten times more sheep than people in Australia. Sheep are raised for wool and for meat. In Australia what Americans call a ranch is known as a station. Stations are very big. Some stations are so big they have to use planes to keep track of the animals. The most famous animals in Australia are marsupials. A marsupial is a mammal that has a pouch to carry its young. Some kangaroos can jump 30 feet
The rebellion quickly collapsed upon a battle with government soldiers and the leaders were hanged. A second rebellion occurred in 1808. William Bligh was made governor in 1806 and at that time rum was used as currency, which he forbade. A group of soldiers led by Major George Johnston arrested him. He was held prisoner until he agreed to leave Australia, however soon after Johnston set sail, he decided to return. In 1797 Merino sheep were brought to Australia, booming the number of sheep quickly. There was a huge demand for their wool and by 1850 there were 13 million sheep in New South Wales. By then, half of the wool woven in Britain came from Australia/Tasmania. In 1798 George Bass and Matther Flinders proved Van Diemen's land was seperate from the mainland. The first settlers arriving in Van Diemen's land arrived in 1803. There was a whaling industry in the Bass Strait in the 19th century

More than two-thirds of country is desert or dry bushland. The climate is tensely hot. Australia is relatively flat country with mountainous only in the eastern regions. Most Australians live in the southern part of the country, where winters are wild and the summers are sunny and warm. The Great Barrier Reef is Chain of 500 island and coral reefs 2000 km long, near the coast of the north-east Queensland. It is one of the natural wonders of the world. There are some 150 million sheep in Australia. This is one-fifth of the total number of sheep in the world. Dingers are wild dogs of the outback, believed to have been brought to Australia by the Aboriginats tohusand of years ago. They are expert hunters. In the hot climate of north Australia, most houses are built with verandas which provide shade. The country is divided into six self-governing states and two territories. These are Queensland , South Australia, New south Wales,
Koalas are furry animals that live only in Australia they live only in certain types of trees, called eucalyptus trees where they can eat the leaves. Koalas are nocturnal, they spend at least 1618 hours a day sleeping. Ø Christmas is the biggest event in the Australian calendar, it is the beginning of summer month. It marks the end of the school examinations and the start of long summer holidays. Ø In 1987, it was calculated that there were about 150 million sheep in Australia, about 10 sheep for every person living in the country. No wonder that Australia is the world's largest exporter of lamb and wool.

be able to have a Republic if they want one. Animals and plants. Sixty million years ago Australia and its nearby islands were separated from the other world by a great upheaval. They were cut off from Asia by the ocean. Almost no animals visited Australia before English colonists began to settle there. Now a strange thing happened when the ocean blocked off this island continent. The ancestors of cats and tigers, of dogs and wolves, of elephant and sheep just were not there. As a result, the reptile like mammals that have died out everywhere else in the world are very much alive in Australia. Australia is, in fact, a continent-sized museum of ancient animals, modernized along certain lines by their own separate evolution. Two of the strangest animals in the world the spiny anteater and the platypus, only live in Australia. They are reptile-mammals. Another group of Australian mammals are the marsupials

The narrator, an airplane pilot, crashes in the Sahara desert. The crash badly damages his airplane and leaves the narrator with very little food or water. As he is worrying over his predicament, he is approached by the little prince, a very serious little blond boy who asks the narrator to draw him a sheep. The narrator obliges, and the two become friends. The pilot learns that the little prince comes from a small planet that the little prince calls Asteroid 325 but that people on Earth call Asteroid B-612. The little prince took great care of this planet, preventing any bad seeds from growing and making sure it was never overrun by baobab trees. One day, a mysterious rose sprouted on the planet and the little prince fell in love with it

The large meat eating marsupial, the Tasmanian tiger is probably extinct. Most of Australian native animals move around at night. But the birds which are very colourful are easy to see. There are about 750 species of birds in Australia. Two types of crocodiles, the saltwater and the freshwater crocodile can be found in the north. The dingo or the native dog is not really an Australian native. It was brought from Asia around 3500 years ago. The dingo is an efficient sheep hunter. To protect sheep The Dog fence was built in 1946. Population About 20, 2 million people live in Australia. Mainly they live on in the eastern and southeastern part of the country, because the middle part of the country is mainly plains and deserts. The eastern part is the place where the big cities are like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane etc. In Sydney and Melbourne together live about 8 million people. The Native Australians The first people who arrived to Australia were the Aborigines. They arrived there
commonly used for grazing domestic livestock. As a result much of the world's savannas have undergone change as a result of grazing by sheep, goats and cattle, ranging from changes in pasture composition to woody weed encroachment. The removal of grass by grazing affects the woody plant component of woodland systems in two major ways. Grasses compete with woody plants for water in the topsoil and removal by grazing reduces this competitive effect, potentially boosting tree growth. In addition to this effect the removal of fuel reduces both the intensity and the frequency of fires which may control woody plant species
There were platypuses and spiny anteaters, too the only mammals in the world that lay eggs. Among the strange birds were emus, lyrebirds, and black swans. The early settlers on the coast were suht in between the mountains and the sea. For years they couldn't make their way across the mountains. When they did, they found great streches of grassland. Some of the early settlers had been sheepmen in Britain. They saw that the grasslands would be a wonderful place for raising sheep. They knew that wool stands shipping well. They knew, too, that it is worth enough to pay for shipping it long distances. Many started sheep farms. Before long Australia became the greatest wool-producing country in the world. In some cases cattle were raised on the grassland instead of sheep. But beef and butter are not as easy to ship as wool. The Gold Rush Gold was discovered in southeastern Australia in 1851. There was a great gold rush.

Climate Australia is the driest continent in the world except Antarctica. It has very low average rainfalls. About 70 per cent of the country is arid or semiarid and cannot support agriculture. The north part of the countrygets about 300 mm rain a year. Much of the rain soakes into the ground and does not form any rivers or lakes. Monsoon winds bring most air during summer. This is the time of high rainfall. It's known as the wet season
2/3 of Australia is a desert with hills and big saltlakes. The biggest deserts are the Great Sandy Desert, the Gibson Desert, the Simpson Desert, The Great Victoria Desert. The biggest mountain ranges are the Great Divining Range, the Australian Alps, the Blue Mountains and the New England Range. The outback is flat and hot centre of Australia. The nearest neighbor may be a hundred kilometers away. The nearest city may be more than one thousand kilometers away. Many people in this area live on sheep stations which are enormous farms.

Animals shrinking in the heat This article was published in Daily mail, on 17 October 2011. The author of the article is Tamara Cohen. The article discusses about animals who are shrinking due to global warming. Scientist have warned, that animals such as sheep, deer, birds and reptiles are shrinking due to climate change. Researchers say warmer temperatures over the past few years have made some animals adapt to need less body fat to survive while others are struggling for food. In the next few decades, some types of mammals, fish, birds and plants are getting smaller and evolve into miniature versions of what they are today. This could force some creatures, that people eat, to become extinct,
Crime In the sociological field, crime is the breach of a rule or law for which some governing authority or force may ultimately prescribe a punishment. The word crime originates from the Latin crimen. Even in society there are always black sheep and these people are called 'criminals'. Estonia is a relatively safe country, although there are some situations, where people should be more careful crime has been increased lately. We could count different type of crimes, but most common are smuggling and robberies. Many people like something, what do not belong to them. On the one hand, news are talking about shoplifting, bank robbery and vandalism. When looking for the reasons why people commit crimes I can
