sheep, llama, alpaca, rabbits, camels ..... and why not? To the list of animals whose hair is transformed into a beautiful, soft yarn is added to the sheep-pig. The species name is Lincoln and is a cross between the sheep-pig UK Lincolnshire (extinct in England in 1972) and Mangalica, pork, sheep originating in Austria and Hungary.
may very well be confused with normal sheep for his soft, curly coat, but a closer look at the unmistakable snout, the features ears and tail curled make us understand that this is a pig.
The sheep-pig is one of the biggest attractions of a zoo in Essex, United Kingdom, not only for its peculiarity, but also because it represents an attempt to reintegrate in a wildlife species extinct in the UK for almost 40 years.
Just look 'like a pig-sheep posing as a celebrity with Emma Thompson at the premiere of the last film actress Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang
