Ovis Grindelwaldensis

This is a rare species of sheep that developed in a pasture not far from Grindelwald and across the millennia has suffered the evolution of which today we can appreciate the results.
The ovis grindelwaldensis was not originally very different from those that we could consider normal sheep, but the place in which it usually grazed, for most of the day just below the shadow of Mount Eiger, put her in the condition not to be able to exploit at best the benefits of sunlight.
Its instinctive search for wellness provided by the source of life, has led the unusual vertical development of its feet: About 2 meters! The pastors have some problems concerning the construction of sheepfolds, but this is another story; we’ll tell it to anyone who will want to make this dream with us.
