Sheep are incredibly intelligent animals. They have very impressive cognitive ability and just like humans, they form deep and lasting bonds with each other, they stick up for one another in fights, and they grieve when they lose a friend. They experience all of the same emotions that we do including fear, joy, boredom, anger and happiness to name a few. In addition to being incredibly smart, they also have wonderful memories! They can remember approximately 50 individuals (sheep and human!) for years at a time.
Sheep have unique rectangular pupils that allow them amazing peripheralvision - it’s estimated that their field of vision is between 270 and 320 degrees! Humans, in comparison, average 155 degrees.They self medicate! Sheep who aren’t feeling well have been known to seek out plants and substances that make them feel better.
To be dependent indicates a relationship. The dependence of sheep on the shepherd does not point to a deficiency of sheep but to the power, protection, and provision of the shepherd. Sheep are well and at peace when they are under the care of the shepherd. Out of the entire animal kingdom, God could have chosen any animal to illustrate the church’s relationship to Himself. In His perfect wisdom, He chose the humble sheep. He chose the sheep not to make a point about our mental acuity but rather to make clear His relationship toward us. It is good and glorious to be a sheep under the watchful care of the Good Shepherd. The beasts of the wild may, for a season, revel in their independence, but I am sure that they look with great envy at the peaceful rest of sheep under the good and perfect care of the shepherd.
