The media and internet sensation of the moment in Australia is a sheep that has not been sheared for over 5 years and its wool is estimated to weigh around 25 kilos! The animal has grabbed the attention of the media outlets ‘down under’ and in other countries too, with animal welfare societies warning of potential health risks. The sheep is a male and is thought to be living in the wild for the last 4 to 5 years, which explains its long wool. The Australians say it is one of the largest sheep and is a little hostile towards humans when approached.
