Sheep exhibit sexual dimorphism, with males (rams) and females (ewes) showing distinct physical characteristics. Rams typically have thicker, more robust bodies and prominent horns, while ewes are generally smaller and hornless. Both sexes can be identified by their reproductive organs, with rams having external testes and ewes possessing a vulva. Understanding these differences is important in animal husbandry and breeding practices.
