Suburban comfort for massive ram

A huge ram has made himself at home in his rescuer's house after resisting all attempts to return him to farm life.

The 22st (139kg) sheep, named Nick Boing, was rescued by David Palmer as a new-born lamb three years ago.



But despite efforts to reintroduce Nick to his natural habitat, he prefers the home comforts of a Cardiff suburb.

Even though he now has his own bungalow in the garden with carpet and windows, he still likes to watch TV in the family living room, and take car trips. Mr Palmer, 53, said Nick had even slept in his bed when he was a lamb, but was too big for that now.

There's a gallery of photos here.
