"Comando Sheep" Are Getting Smarter

[matcom]

<snip>

THEIR reputation as innovators and adventurers is thus far slim, but it appears some sheep may be smarter than you might first think.

According to astonished eye-witnesses, a particularly adventurous flock in northern England has found a way to get past supposedly hoof-proof metal grids installed across roads - executing a neat commando-style roll over the top.

Determined to get access to the rich grazing of local gardens in Marsden, a town in the hilly Pennine region, local sheep have worked out how to get past the barriers, the Guardian newspaper reported on Friday.

"I've seen them doing it and they're clever," said an impressed Dorothy Lindley, a local councillor.

"They lie down on their side, or sometimes on their back, and roll over the metal grids until they are clear."
