The main difference between a sheep and a lamb is their age:
- Lamb: A lamb is a young sheep, typically under 1 year old. Lambs are known for their soft wool and playful behavior. They are usually born in the spring and are dependent on their mothers for nourishment.
- Sheep: A sheep is an adult of the species, typically over 1 year old. Once a lamb reaches maturity, it is referred to as a sheep. Sheep are raised for their wool, meat (such as mutton or lamb), and sometimes for their milk.
So, the key difference is that a lamb is a young sheep, while a sheep is an adult.
