This sheep escaped a farm & spent 6 yrs in the mountains, during that time grew 60 pounds of wool. Wolves tried to eat, but teeth couldn't penetrate the floof.

Be like Chris? Adaptation anyone?
Does anyone know who this is?
This is not any sheep. It is Chris the sheep who is
also a record holder.
He went jumping over the fence and never came back to
the farm. He survived in the wild but he reached a point where life became
difficult and came back to the shears.
People have started looking for fables from this. What
lesson can you learn?
We have always looked to our predecessors for answers
during tough times. Animals who have been on earth longer than us. Even our
stories in many cultures are based on animals. Chicken Little, Fox and the Crow
and so on. Here goes another story.
In Gujarat, it was found that birds started eating
fire. What they are after is not the fire but what lights the fire. The rich
ghee which is clarified butter. This is a novel behavior. You can fill parts of
the story that the birds are adapting to a new source of food. Its survival
driven?
According to Allen Wilson who was a biologist at UC
Berkeley, if an organization/species is to exploit their environment to their
advantage, three things are needed. They should be able to move.
In 1920s when milk bottles were laid in front of the
doors, they were open. Crème da la crème on the top. Birds of two kinds titmice
and robins both had their share.
When the farms got wary they started putting on
aluminium caps.
Now both the birds were able to pierce it, but the
study found that few robins could do it while millions of titmice knew how to.
Those bird they pierced and showed their friends too.
