I'm an amateur homesteader located in Northern California (Sacramento Valley). Lover of most things, but especially plants and animals. A jack-of-all-trades and "master of some" in gardening, "homemaking", and making things work in a small space. Ask box and submissions open.

Shearing half a sheep seemed a simple way to show a season's growth of wool, but photographer Cary Wolinsky was wrong. The half-shorn sheep tended to lose their balance and topple to wool-ward. It took many tries before merino sheep number 30 “became our hero," Wolinsky said.

A 392 year old Greenland shark that was recently discovered in the Arctic Ocean. Meaning this shark was alive in 1627!
Greenland sharks have a lifespan of around 400 years. Most are blind due to a parasite attracting itself to its eyes. Their meat is poisonous and they do not attack humans.
