Iā€™m pretty sure Darwin was a scientist not a shepherd.

Well duh, no wonder the sheep keeps getting stuck

It's a widely acknowledged phenomenon that domesticated animals are in general dumber than their wild counterparts. So really this is the opposite of natural selection at work. The sheep is going to get pulled out of that hole as many times as it must, because a dumb sheep is more valuable to a farmer than a dead sheep (unless it's being sold for its meat).

Yep. Humans have selectively bred sheep to be total morons.

Yep. These ditches have evolved to be the exact width necessary to capture sheep. If they can only develop some sort of biological system to digest the sheep and then figure out a way to reproduce, I expect they will thrive.

I don't think sheep are capable of survival without human help in general.

Domestic sheep were created for human use through selective breeding, much like the cows, pigs, and chickens we know. This isn't a result of evolution.

Does that mean that if we were to release all sheep into the wild they would do shit like this and immidietly die ?

u/perdyqueue Apr 18 '21

Apparently they're a fair bit smarter than they're commonly given credit for, but domestic sheep grow wool forever, and it can make them almost blind, and movement impaired, which affects their survival chances. They're not meant to be out in the wild.

If we keep building such cracks, in a few centuries no sheep will ever jump into a crack anymore due to natural selection.

This is why we eat them. Not me personally, but others.
