One of Folly Farm’s newest residents, Dinky the valais blacknose sheep, may be the cutest lamb in the world.

Dinky was born on March 15 and was roughly the size of a spaniel. When fully grown, he will weigh around 100kg and will be one metre tall.

Like the rest of his breed, he is full of love and very friendly, and particularly likes to nibble on shoe laces.

Valais sheep are native to the region of the same name in Switzerland, and like to graze on grass and vegetation that would naturally be found on the steep slopes of the hilltops in their native home.
