Sheep saved from 77 pounds of matted fleece
- 3 years ago
A dysfunctionally fluffy sheep in a forest outside Melbourne, Australia, was overcome by the shear amount of wool on his body. But the monstrous fur ball — nicknamed Baarack — was saved from his woolly situation when rescuers shaved off his heavy load, which weighed in at more than 77 pounds.
Baarack was recently discovered by a random animal lover, who alerted Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary about 37 miles north of Melbourne. The group went to work and gave the flocculent boy what was clearly his first shave in years.
Baarack is transitioning well into his new shorn life, reportedly settling in alongside other rescued sheep at Edgar’s Mission. His ability to be so debilitatingly fleece-covered for so long, said Behrend, is ultimately a testament to the resilience of his species.
