A sheep wandering in the Australian forests, in the free state, has finally been sheared, freeing itself from 35 kilograms of fur it carried on its back, after about five years raised in the wild.
With the heavy weight of wool, and years of mud and other debris attached to it, a sheep named Baarack was spotted in a forest in the state of Victoria and taken to an animal rescue center north of Melbourne. .
The caretakers sheared him, extracting not a little, but 35 kg of wool, a weight even greater than that of the famous Shrek sheep, in New Zealand, which was caught in 2005 after six years on the run.
The merino sheep, named Baarack by rescuers, was spotted wandering alone with its extraordinarily grown wool, and was immediately taken under the care of experts who sheared it, in order to save its life.
Baarack is the latest in a long line of large, furry sheep to make headlines in the international news. In 2005, Shrek, became a beloved personality in New Zealand after spending six years fleeing and growing to extraordinary proportions. When he was shaved, he pulled out 27kg of wool and even met with New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark before he died in 2011. According to Australian media, 47.3 t-shirts were produced with Shrek wool. While according to estimates, that of the Baarack sheep, would enable the weaving of 61 tights or 490 pairs of socks.
