Chris, la oveja liberada de 40 kilos de lana

05 de septiembre de 2015 - 11:38 a. m.
This handout photo released on September 3, 2015 from the RSPCA shows a giant woolly sheep getting sheared in the outskirts of Canberra a day after Australian animal welfare officers put out an urgent appeal for shearers after finding the sheep with wool so overgrown its life was in danger. The heavily overgrown sheep had its massive fleece removed on September 3 by an Australian national champion in a life-saving operation that animal welfare officers said may have also set a new world record for a single shearing. Some 40.45 kilos (89.18 pounds) of wool was taken off in one large piece from the animal by Australian Shearers' Hall of Famer Ian Elkins in a 42-minute process that he said was "certainly a challenge".

The very woolly merino sheep was spotted wandering on its own near Mulligan Flats, a grassy woodland just outside the capital Canberra, by bushwalkers who alerted local RSPCA officers.
