They graze, rest or eat: Watching sheep would be described by many as less exciting.
But there are exceptions.
For example, a sheep jumping on a trampoline.
We count sheep while we sleep, bake Easter lambs or buy clothes made from sheep's wool.
Many also count lambs and sheep among their favorite animals.
Herd animals have been important to humans for centuries.
Not just because of their wool or meat.
They also "mow" the grass on dams or between solar systems as farm animals.
The Lüneburg Heath would also not exist as it is if 9,000 Heidschnucke sheep in 13 herds didn't roam the heath areas of the Lüneburg Heath 365 days a year, according to information on the Lüneburg Heath website.
Because as natural gardeners, sheep ensure that the biological balance is maintained there.
But sheep are much more than livestock.
Anyone who grew up with them, works a lot with the animals professionally or is just a sheep fan knows that they are by no means all the same, but have their own peculiarities, jokes and favorite pastimes.
Some sheep also enjoy quite human hobbies, as an Instagram video shows.
Sheep won't stop jumping around on a trampoline anymore
A sheep that obviously has fun jumping on the trampoline: A video on the Instagram channel "animalsabove" shows a particularly active sheep.
It keeps jumping up on a trampoline and doesn't want to stop.
A small child watches and jumps along in solidarity.

Again and again the sheep scratches the trampoline with its hooves and then jumps up again.
"Like humans, they feel all the emotions, happiness, pleasure" - Instagram users are delighted

Sheep would have hobbies if we gave them the opportunity.
An Instagram clip suggests that.

Unfortunately, it is not known where the sweet spectacle took place.
Also, whether the sheep regularly returns to the trampoline to hop around on it remains a mystery.
In any case, the sheep is an Instagram hit: the video has already been marked with “Like” almost 392,000 times.
Eleven baby animal pictures that will make your heart beat faster
Scottish Highland Cattle are considered to be the oldest recorded cattle breed and actually come from rough Scotland.
This is probably one of the reasons why you see them more and more often on German pastures, where they can stand outside all year round.
Even the calves are well protected from the cold, wind and weather with their fluffy fur.

It is not uncommon to see individual fawns in their first three to four weeks of life.
Only then do the young animals accompany their mother.
Until then, they lie in hollows in fields or in the forest.
From March to September you should therefore not let your dog roam freely in the forest.
As a human, you don't have to intervene immediately when you find an abandoned fawn.
As a rule, the mother animal collects her young again.

They look as if they couldn't cloud a little water.
Raccoons, no matter what age, are one thing above all: curious.
They are particularly common in urban settlements, where they inspect garbage cans at dusk or at night or steal food from outdoor cats.
They can also cause a lot of chaos in the shed or attic, for example.
But should that surprise?
After all, even the boys wear black eye masks to remain unrecognized.

Squirrels can be seen here all year round, with the first young animals appearing around May.
And while the adults are adorable, you just want to protect the young ones.
This is probably one of the reasons why numerous squirrel babies are raised and nursed by hand every year.
Perhaps the young animals fell out of their hut or fell out of the branches during their first attempts at climbing.

Lamb runs on a snow-covered meadow. To the right, to the left, do hooks - shortly after birth, lambs are so fit that all they really want to do is run.
Well, first comes the meal at Mama's, when the little tail twitches back and forth very excitedly.
After the romp comes the nap.
Some lambs are born even when there is still snow.
But they don't usually freeze, thanks to the dense wool.

Baby bunnies in gray Short ears, a quivering nose and just plain cute - baby bunnies (and their full-grown representatives) are among the most popular pets in Germany.
The rodents should not be kept alone and are not cuddly toys, but with patience they can learn tricks.

Kitten plays with string.Predators in mini bodies: Kittens are curious and love to play with everyone and everything.
In the first few months, they can easily get used to dogs and other animals, and they usually learn to use the litter box on their own or from their mother.
The eye color of kittens, like that of most other mammals, is blue at first and is still changing.

Two ducklingsYour soft squeaking and the soothing cackling of Mama Duck can be heard in spring on numerous bodies of water in Germany.
They swim in rank and file after their mother and hide together under bushes on the bank as soon as danger threatens.
Amazing: Even if the feathers of the chicks look so fluffy: It is so waterproof that they are in the water the day after hatching at the latest.

Two sleeping retriever puppies - The first trip to the garden was probably particularly exciting: Puppies process their impressions best when they sleep.
They open their eyes at around 10 to 14 days and at around four weeks the world outside the whelping box is properly discovered.
But the little ones aren't housebroken yet, so a lot of training still needs to be invested.

Mare and foal on a pasture. If you look closely, the legs of the foals are not that much shorter than those of the adult horses.
This is probably one of the reasons why it always looks a little stalked when the young animals romp across the pasture and paddock.
But observers have to smile regularly during the race.

A black-pink pigletPigs come in different sizes and colors.
Some of the older breeds are, for example, the Bunte Bentheimer or the German saddle pig.
You can often see them in animal parks or museum villages.
Regardless of breed, piglets have one thing in common: they are sweet as candy – and always seem a bit like they are walking on tiptoe.
