Characteristics

The Adal is unicolored from white to dark brown. Average mature weight for a ram is 35 kg (77 lb) and a ewe 24 kg (53 lb) . They have short ears often appearing to have none. At birth, males are on average 2.54 kg (5.6 lb) and ewes 2.26 kg (5.0 lb).[2]

It is especially adapted to arid, dry climates. Rams and ewes are polled (hornless). The Adal is classified as a fat-tailed hair breed and has short, stiff fibers.[3]

gollark: I think they already use location data to "help" investigate crimes, in ways which tend to implicate innocent people randomly.
gollark: Giving one company access to people's accurate location history, conversations, emails and whatnot could probably lead to problems.
gollark: Presumably, somewhat creepy overtargeted advertising, spread it further (which I don't really like in itself), probably (if I was weird and still used Google stuff on my phone) listen into my conversations.
gollark: Thing is, what I'm attempting to say is: what sort of bad things do you think people or companies could do with leaked or bought or whatever data?
