Lamb

A lamb is a young sheep. The term is typically used for a young sheep under one year of age. 🐑

Lambs are born with a woolly coat and are smaller and more slender than adult sheep. They have a softer, more rounded face and a shorter tail. Like adult sheep, they are hoofed animals with a pair of horns that may grow as they mature.

Lambs are known for their playful and gentle nature. They are dependent on their mother, the ewe, for milk for the first several months of their life. As they grow, they begin to graze on grass and other vegetation, and their diet transitions from milk to solid food.

Lamb is also the name for the meat from a young sheep. It is a popular food source around the world. Lamb wool, which is shorn from the lamb, is also a highly valued material for clothing and textiles due to its softness and warmth.
