Shrek – The Sheep That Shorn The Shear

This is the Sheep, Shrek.

Or as he is known to his friends: Shrek the Sheep.

He lives in New Zealand and enjoys long walks on the beach, Mai Tais, Three’s Company reruns, and sunsets. What he doesn’t like is getting his hair cut. Shrek hated getting his hair cuts so much that he hid out in a cave for six years to avoid them.

Quick question…is it called hair on a sheep? It’s wool right? Or is it wool after it’s clipped off?

Please enlighten us Google:

There is a group of sheep that is of fur or hair sheep, which do not grow wool at all. Hair sheep are similar to the early domesticated sheep kept before woolly breeds were developed, and are raised for meat and pelts.

So there you go, we learned something new. Shrek apparently had wool anyway according to the sources, and in fact after the wool was removed there was enough to make twenty men’s suits, one woman’s jacket, and three and a half baby booties.
