16. Levitating Lambs 12


I swear…lambs are totally nuts….!
I recently biked along a meadow, when I saw some strange white movements from the corner of my eye.
Some lambs were jumping around like crazy and for a moment I wondered if they might be suffering Mad Sheep Disease…
But after watching them for a while I discovered some logic…
All right, their game was a bit rough, but they did have their own lamb rules and associated lamb logic.

 1. Lamb Stacking
Taking a firm mother sheep as a solid base, a nice lamb stack can be built, up to 10 lambs high!
Goal: stacking as much lambs on one sheep as possible.

Building a solid base for the Lamb Stack

Negotiating positions: Extremely important for making a good 'Lambs Stack "

.. there's enough space for many more lambs. Eventually it became a tower of 7 (!) lambs. Unfortunately it crashed prematurely, so I couldn't take a photo...

 2.  Leap Lambing / Leap sheeping
Mother plays ‘frog’ by laying motionless, while the kids jump simultaneously or by turns over her.
Her head can be used to make even higher jumps.

A 10 for landing!

3. Levitating Lamb
The rules are very simple: Everything is allowed as long as your paws don’t touch the ground.
Screw gravity!

Calmly hovering through the meadow...

or ... you just float the mother sheep....

And the real show-offs go pretty fast

And when the sun goes down ....... you float quietly to the stable. Tomorrow is yet another day full of new jumps!

There’s only one thing I just can’t put my finger on: How does such a cute & enthusiastic lamb transform in this kinda boring sweater on legs…?
Where in the process from lamb to sheep does it go wrong…? 😉

Happy Easter!
