The BBC said the sheep was discovered walking into the fields of Peter and Netty Hazel. The animal, placed on Shaun , has a 50cm thick coat covering the eyes, making it move slowly.

According to Peter and Netty, sheep have been wild for about 6 years and may have never been able to trim their estimated coat of about 20kg.

Hazell said he was surprised that the animal was still in good health despite living in an external environment for a long time. Usually, sheep's health can be affected by the hot weather or the weight of the coat.

In 2004, a sheep with a 27kg "coat" was discovered in New Zealand.
