Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
The normal life span of sheep is about 10 - 12 years.Sheep or domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are domesticated, ruminant mammals typically kept as livestock. Domestic sheep are relatively small ruminants, usually with a crimped hair called wool and often with horns forming a lateral spiral.
Domestic sheep on normal pastures begin to slowly decline from four years on, and the life expectancy of a sheep is 10 to 12 years, though some sheep may live as long as 20 years.
