今年三歲的Momen的品種是柯利黛(Corriedale)羊，根據Yahoo Japan新聞表示，英格蘭之秋的飼養員說，其實她並沒有在微笑，是所謂的「裂唇嗅反應」，透過抬起嘴唇，分辨其他綿羊身上氣味的表現，是她的生理反應之一。
According to Yahoo Japan news, three-year-old Momen is a “Corriedale”, and the breeder of Awaji Farm said she’s not smiling but actually displaying a “flehmen response.”
The report added that this is one of her physiological reactions, which is performed by lifting her lips to distinguish the scent of other sheep.
飼養員也補充，Momen是個安靜但對食物不嘴軟的女孩，平時會在小屋的角落擺出怡然自得的樣子，，只要到了飯點時間她就會變成吃貨達人，還會把同伴推開獨享食物。
The breeder also added that Momen is a quiet, but food-obsessed sheep who usually poses happily in the corner of the hut.
However, as soon as mealtime comes, she becomes dominant and pushes her companions away to enjoy the food alone.
貼文一發出，立刻引起日本網友熱烈討論， 「她太可愛了!」、「是眾人的開心果」、「我也跟她一樣笑口常開」、「我希望可以跟她一樣快樂」、「快點分我一點快樂!」，而飼養員表示，「很多人透過這張照片認識到Momen和我們的動物農場，感到非常的開心。我們希望可以讓Momen的笑臉為更多人帶來喜悅」。

The breeder later added: “Many people are very happy to know about Momen and our animal farm through this photo. We hope that Momen’s smiling face can bring joy to more people.”
