Shearling is not wool. Instead it is the pelt (skin with wool) of a sheep that has been shorn only once. The skin to which the wool adheres is soft, sometimes as soft as suede. It seems, therefore, that the young animal is shorn just once simply because its wool is long enough for the first time for the animal to be shorn. Soon after that it is slaughtered.
What most people do know about "shearling" is that luxury apparel and footwear is made from this soft and warm pelt. The skins are tanned with the wool of uniform length to create a luxurious pelt that is then transformed into shearling coats, shearling jackets and other wonderfully warm items of apparel and boots.

Why do ewes adopt and nurse a lamb shortly after they give birth to their own lamb but reject a lamb introduced a day or two later?
After a day or 2, the lamb takes on an odor that the dam doesn't recognize. If the owner has a prize lamb, who's mother died, and, in addition, he has a ewe who's lamb died, he will skin the dead lamb and drape the skin on the orphan. The ewe will think it's hers, and adopt it with no problem. After she feeds it, and takes care of it well, he takes off the skin.
Why is the polar bear's fur meant for the cold?
It isn't really the fur that is perfect for the cold, it's the skin that's underneath. The white coat makes it blend in perfectly with the snow, it is also a very thick, dense coat. It prevents the strong winds from "breaking" the coat and making the Polar Bear cold. The thick skin that is underneath the thick coat of white fur, is black. Whenever there is sunlight, that black skin absorbs the heat made by the sun. The skin is what keeps the bear warm, the fur just reinforces it.
