Lambs are young sheep. A sheep is considered a lamb if it is younger than one year old. Unlike humans who can take up to a year to start walking, lambs can stand about an hour after being born. Soon after, they begin to nurse from their mother, forming a strong bond. Scientific Name: Ovis aries Characteristics: This happy-go-lucky lamb is ready to trot right into your heart.
