First, the time of the appearance of the "plant sheep", although it is impossible to know the specific era of its appearance, but from the rumors, we can see that this existence appeared at a time when there was a great shortage of materials. Whether in the 18th century or in alexander's time, the poor were plagued by hunger. Therefore, in the view of the curator, the appearance of plant sheep is likely to come from the mouth of the poor, just like the bread from heaven.

Second, the form of "plant sheep", although morphologically divided into two kinds of bean pod sheep and sheep plants, there is a connection between these two forms. The pea sheep in the pod and the fleshed sheep connected to the stem of the plant look more like a seed and fruit connection.

Therefore, the curator thinks that this connection may arise from the desire for food, after all, from the perspective of life form plant sheep can not be generated.
