Sheep commandos
The sheep of the Yorkshire moors have "perfected their version of the commando roll" (via Normblog).
Determined to get at lush greenery in the valley gardens of Marsden, a former textile town on the edge of the Pennine uplands, flocks have developed a new way of getting over road grids installed to stop them.
"I've seen them doing it and they're clever," said an independent district councillor, Dorothy Lindley. "They lie down on their side, or sometimes their back, and roll over the metal grids until they are clear."
