Sheep Physics: When Wool Meets Newton's Laws
Behold! The groundbreaking field of Ovine Equilibrium Theory in action! This photographer accidentally stumbled upon what sheep farmers have known for centuries—wool distribution is basically quantum mechanics with more bleating. 🐑 The center of gravity shifts dramatically when you shear just half a sheep, creating an unstable woolly-non-woolly system that defies the laws of balance. It's like trying to ride a unicycle while wearing one concrete shoe! Poor merino #30 became the reluctant hero of science after countless "timber!" moments. Next up in unexpected animal physics: why ducks don't need umbrellas and the aerodynamic impossibility of bumblebees who clearly didn't read their physics textbooks!
