New Zealanders were mourning the loss of the country's most famous sheep Tuesday, a shaggy national icon named Shrek who was renowned for avoiding being shorn for years.






RIP


You are safe now, the bad men cannot hurt you anymore.

I guess rolling it in flour to find the wet spot doesnt work with sheep...

That's about five times a typically annual shearing from Shrek's breed, the Merino sheep prized for some of the softest wool.

In a country where sheep outnumber people by nearly 10 to one, Shrek's story of stubbornness and guile appealed to many. After his capture, Shrek was shorn on live TV in a broadcast that was picked up around the world. His story inspired three books.

"He was quite an elderly statesman," said owner John Perriam. "He taught us a lot."

LOL..

All sheep looked like that in the '80s.

My heart goes out to GA, MG, and SM. :rose

They probably have "Candle In The Wind" on repeat1 right now.

 

[nageov3t]

if sheep lived in the wild without being sheered by humans, would they all just walk around looking like that?

seems a little crazy.
