This is Baaaa-d

Climate change is causing a breed of wild sheep in Scotland to shrink, according to research.

Scientists say milder winters help smaller sheep to survive, resulting in this "paradoxical decrease in size".

Classic evolutionary theory would predict that wild sheep gradually get bigger, as the stronger, larger animals survive into adulthood and reproduce.

Reporting in Science journal, the team says this shows the "subtle interplay" between evolution and the environment.

Scientists first began studying Soay sheep, on the island of Hirta in the St Kilda archipelago, in 1985.

Since then, the sheep have decreased in size by 5% - their legs getting steadily shorter and their body weight decreasing.

This strange phenomenon was first reported in 2007, but the reason for it remained under debate.

Oh. My. God.

We're going to have to shave double the sheep to make the same jumper.

That was so bad I didn´t even realise it was meant to be joke xDD

 

[Dave]

Yes I did indeed. I am sure you will agree that I am a master in the art of pun-itry(?)



But seriously, you guys. Nothing is more important to me than that of the size of native sheep.

Oh you amusing Scotsman, you entertain me with your caring for the local animals and your unfunny puns amaze me and I may start believing in Scotland once again thanks William Wallace #2.

Bertie Vogts FTW !!

I honestly have no idea why I even posted this! It was on BBC.co.uk so it must have major repercussions. Musn't it?

Not physical love, just love with my mind. I only have eyes for the Blade man.

 

[GSM]

Scottland is seriously underrated.

Wait ... you and Blade ?

 

[Dave]

In what way are we under-rated? Scotland sucks man.

 

[GSM]

I only heard good of scotland so far but you live there so you might be right.

 

[Blade]

Sure know how to get into a guy's trousers, Dave.

 

[Dave]

Scotsmen are never right. About anything.

I'm going to start an all things Scotland thread I think. Get to grips with my culture.

 

[Shadowmancer]

tau-rrible, tau-rrible name for a thread

 

[Dave]

Was that another pun?

Especially when you know that "tau" means a protein that binds to and regulates the assembly and stability of neuronal microtubules and thatis found in an abnormal form as the major component of neurofibrillary tangles called also tau protein.

You sly old fox, you!

 

[Shadowmancer]

yes it was a pun but in reference to the 40k race called tau

it is referencing 40k radio as well
