A wild and ailing sheep found in a forest in Australia, named Baarack by rescuers, has yielded a fleece weighing more than 35 kilograms - nearly half the weight of an adult kangaroo - after being shorn for the first time in years reut.rs/3utUJnK 
The sheep was found by a member of the public who contacted the Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary near Lancefield, Victoria, about 60 kilometers north of Melbourne, according to Kyle Behrend from Edgar's Mission
'Sheep need to be shorn at least annually otherwise the fleece continues to grow and grow, as happened here,' said Behrend. After his much-needed shearing, Baarack’s fleece weighed in at 35.4 kilograms
Baarack is now settling in with other rescued sheep at Edgar’s Mission, Behrend said, adding that it 'all goes to show what incredibly resilient and brave animals sheep really are and we could not love them any more if we tried' reut.rs/3utUJnK
