Lamb survives winter in a jumper



This little lamb, named Jack Frost, had quite an unlucky start of the year (and his life). He was born on January 1 into subzero conditions on a commercial farm in Hampshire. Sadly he was abandoned by his mother and the commercial farm didn't have the time to hand rear the little orphan.
But luckily the Manor Farm Country Park decided to adopt him. And as you can see the volunteers there are taking care of Jack very well by giving him an extra jumper to stay warm during the cold weather.
