Why don''t sheep shrink when it rains?

Dude, they do. I'm from New Zealand, we have 20 times as many sheep as people, so I know.\n\nA little known fact is that there is only a certain number of sheep in the world, and that this number neither decreases or increases. If you see a lamb, it isn't a young sheep, but an old sheep that has been caught out in the rain, thus shrinking. When they dry out again, they enlarge.\n\nThis is why lamb meat is tastier... it's because it's more concentrated.  \n\nLogical when you think about it.

Supposedly the cows sense the moisture in the air and are making sure they have a dry place to lie down, or another explanation is that the cows are conserving heat by because they know the rain will make the air cooler, so they lay on the ground to stay warm. Personally, I have seen cows standing in the rain ignoring it. I wouldn't count on it. \n\nI can tell you what I do use cows to indicate. If you notice grazing cows are spread in a straight line, it might be an indicator of a fault line. The fault tends to create favorable moisture conditions and grows better grass. Sometimes the cows just want to mess with me though.

They slow down dramatically. \n\nThe animal's metabolism slows so everything else in it's body slows. \n\n\nFrom source:\n  When an animal begins to hibernate, its body temperature drops very low so that it almost matches the temperature outside.   Your temperature is normally about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.  If you were a hibernator and it was 30 degrees outside, your body temperature would drop from 98.6 down to about 30-40 degrees. THAT’S cold! \n    The animal’s heartbeat and breathing slow down, too.  This is when that stored fat that the animal packed on in the fall comes in handy.  This stored fat lasts longer because their bodies are slowed down so much that they don’t need much energy.  This is how the animal makes it through the whole winter on the fat it has stored in its body.  This is why it's important for animals to get enough food stored in the fall.  If there is a shortage of food at that time, the animal might not live until spring when it can find its food again.

No...it's just being a goat.  Instead, take a water bottle with you when you are going to be near the goat, if it tries to head butt you, squirt it in the face with the water.  Goats are smart, and they don't like to get wet.  It only takes a couple of times, and the goat will figure it out and quit head butting.

Kangaroos have a way of internally recycling their urine to conserve water, the urine they pass can be very concentrated. \nThere are a couple of types of frogs that survive underground for several years during drought. When it does rain, they come out, have babies, then have a very big drink, bloat up, go back into hibernation until the next wet season. They're called, aptly, the Water Holding Frog\nHere's a link:\nhttp://frogsaustralia.net.au/frogs/display.cfm?frog_id=127

yeah and why don't cows' skin get ruined when it rains?

The church has been misrepresented at times there will always be wolves in sheep's clothing as well. The Lord says my sheep will hear my voice and not another will they follow. The Lord has sheep and everyone who says Lord Lord will not enter into the kingdom of God always keep that in mind. But I understand where you are coming from.

This may possibly be the easiest question anyone has ever asked on this forum. If you can't figure this out yourself, you really need to do more homework!! BTW, that is one freakin' tall sheep!!

I'm not completely sure, but I do know that the ring signals that the next day will be rainy. Perhaps it has something to do with an incoming front. Or a rise in humidity.

sheep, all sheep all the time

1. You see toads because the humidity are confortable for them, that need it. So, they just live their places or wake up from hibernation and began their hunt to feed. They move from one plae to other place. Or jut do an walk.\n\n2. Yes t can rain toads and it happened before (as you can easily find in misterious world from Arthur C. Clark)... but isn't a condensation or somekind of miracle. Probably a Tornado got them from somewhere and bring it to that place.  (it's just a theory about the reason).

G'day nursyuhada m,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nA sheep pen is used to hold sheep when the farmer needs to keep them together. This includes times such as shearing or drenching or other times when neccessary.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

The first thing to come to my mind is if you're talking about convective rainfall, which requires the ground to heat up.  If you have a layer of say altostratus clouds (with no precip) move over an area, the solar heating will decrease and this could halt any convective clouds that may have been forming, and which may have produced rain if the heating had continued.  But this is just off the top of my head.

The shape of a drop of rain is constrained by the surface tension, which tries to give it the shape for which the surface area is minimum. For a given volume, the spherical shape has the minimum surface area. That is why rain drops acquire spherical shape.

It gradually cools, and can hold less moisture, therefore it rains.

by the effect of wind.\n      the rain comes from too height & there the speed of air is very fast 'n' due to it the angle deflected.this deflected angle is very short but the height is too large so it seems like a big deflection.

It depends on heat and their own weight.It is harder for large animals to cool themselves.
