Flocking is a behavior shown by mammals, birds, fish, and even insects. These groups are formed to better detect attempted predator attacks and protect against them. For sheep, “flock” refers to a relatively small group. A larger group may be called a mob or a band. Herd is a shortened variation, more of a slang version, derived from the word “shepherd,” the individual who keeps the sheep united by “herding” them. When sheep are raised on an open range, such as a farm or ranch, and are allowed to roam free, they are called bands of sheep. Typically, a band refers to a group of sheep that is large, 500 or more. 1/30 Scale Matte Finish Five figures in box
