A sheep with no more than 2 permanent incisors
No. Like cattle (and other ungulates that are known as ruminants), sheep do not have upper incisors.

The word "sheep" has a long e sound.
no
They have long incisors like tusks that are usually clipped like a boar.
the two order of mammals that have continually growing incisors are Rodentia(rodents) and Lagomorpha(rabbits, hares etc...). They are herbivores. The rest are carnivores and omnivores. All are mammals.
Grazing animals, such as cows, sheep, and horses, are herbivores that primarily feed on grass and other vegetation. They have strong and prominent incisors to effectively cut and shear plant material as they graze. These incisors allow them to efficiently consume large quantities of tough, fibrous plants, which are essential for their diet and digestion. Their dental adaptations help them maximize nutrient intake from their grazing habits.
Yes, sheep has a long E vowel sound. It is the same sound as in sheet and sheen. Sheep rhymes with sleep and keep.
In their incisors, yes. They do have upper molars though, just like a domestic cow does.
My incisors are the sharp, front teeth used for biting and cutting food.
