Arthur is a member of the beautiful species known as the Valais Blacknose Sheep. With just one look at his face, you'll realize why his species' name is so fitting.
These odd-looking beasts are originally from the Valais region all the way in Switzerland. Their coarse wool is perfect for making heavy sweaters and blankets. And to make them even more incredible, both the males and females of this gorgeous breed have wild-looking horns shooting out from their heads.
Though they might seem weird-looking at first, if you watch the videos below, you'll quickly see that these are friendly little guys that love to romp and play. The video of these baby Blacknoses is just too adorable as they eagerly sprint around their home!
While the babies are definitely cute, it's the adults that are the most interesting to look at. When they're looking at you it almost seems as if there's a huge black hole where their faces should be. The guy in the second video goes by the name of Arthur, and though he may be a little quiet, he's very happy to meet you!
What do you think about these beautiful animals? Not much is known about them, but their calm demeanor has begun a campaign to have them spread out from their native Switzerland to some new grazing spots in England.
