The Sheep that Wear Beards and Ugg Boots

The Southdown Babydoll breed of sheep is known for being short, less than 62 centimeters (24 inches) tall at adulthood. They also have a unique look: the appearance of growing a beard and extra wool from their knees down that make them look as if they are wearing Ugg boots. Their faces often appear to be smiling, and they are overall charming little sheep, even when fully grown. In other words, they are the Hobbits of the sheep world. They are particularly prized as pets, and by tourist businesses that need an attractive flock to show off. (via Fark)
