Re: VMs: "Zodiac" signs and Regulus

[Pamela Richards <spirlhelix@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Rene

Yes, there is a distinct resemblance between mountain
goats and mountain sheep, for example.  But still,
even mountain sheep have no dew claws.  And this
younster (longish legs, short coat, short horns) does
not otherwise resemble either a mountain goat or a
mountain sheep--heavy-coated creatures with very
pronounced spiralled horns.

Now if someone could show me some evidence that there
are sheep somewhere with dew claws, I will be content
that this creature may be a sheep.

Sorry to be so obdurate, but I've seen a lot of sheep,
and several goats.  And knowing the difference is
oh-so critical on Judgement Day.  Smile.

Thank you for the links!  I'll try them later when I
get to my daughter's house and settle on the computer.
I can't wait.

Warmly,

Pam
