Shrek the Sheep

I just learned about Shrek the Sheep, the most famous sheep ever!!











"Shrek is a Merino wether (castrated male sheep) in New Zealand, who gained international fame in 2004 after he avoided being caught and shorn for six years. Merinos are normally shorn annually, but Shrek apparently hid in caves, avoiding muster." (Wikipedia)

He had enough wool was enough to make 20 suits!
