I wonder if this animal was picked up at "the baaaaaaaah."

The Old Town Police Department took to Facebook, and posted a rather charming video of an animal that wandered onto a property, then was rounded up by an officer, DC Miller, and placed in the back of the police cruiser, COPS style!

The comments on the post are funny, but the question was brought up as to whether this is a goat or a sheep. The easiest way to tell the difference between a sheep and a goat is to look at their tails. A goat's tail goes up, and sheep tails hang down and are often shortened for health and sanitary reasons.

The easiest way to tell the difference between a sheep and a goat is to look at their tails. A goat's tail goes up (unless it is sick, frightened, or in distress). Sheep tails hang down and are often docked (shortened) for health and sanitary reasons.

Here are some of the responses from the Old Town PD Facebook post:

You can see it in his face!! He said, I've got the milk, if you guys can run by Dunkin!! And when the police officer said we have to take you home, he got mad. I mean, you can practically see it in the video. He says, "screw you guys!". Good job. Wonderful.

Gale Tibbetts
