Sheep have many cutaneous pouches that are lined with sebaceous glands which produce lanolin. There are three places where the pouches are located. The infra-orbital pouches are found near the sheep's eyes, the interdigital pouches are just above the sheep's hooves, and the inguinal pouches are near the udder or scrotum.
