NZ mourns death of Shrek the famously shaggy sheep

New Zealanders are mourning the loss of the country's most famous sheep. The shaggy icon named Shrek was renowned for avoiding being shorn for years.

Shrek captured the public's imagination in 2004 after he evaded the annual shearing roundups for seven years by hiding in caves on his farm on the South Island. He was clad in an astonishing 60 pounds of wool when he was finally caught and shorn on live TV. (AP)
