Recently, a unique sight caught a coastal town\u2019s attention: a sheep taking a stroll on the beach in Mossel Bay.<\/p>\n<p>In a video shared by Michael de Nobrega (a passionate marine life photographer from Hartenbos who you might recall from a heartwarming story earlier this year in which he and his son freed a beach from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodthingsguy.com\/environment\/father-son-and-strangers-free-beach-from-fishing-net-trouble\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">massive fishing net<\/a>), the internet was treated to the sweet sight.<\/p>\n<p>Guided by a leash, the sheep got to enjoy the sand between his hooves and the fresh ocean air on his wool. In fact, the beach sheep seemed so content we wouldn\u2019t have been surprised if he went into the shallow of the waves for a little cool-down dip!<\/p>\n<p>The sheep is believed to belong to the Badenhorst family and has been spotted on various &#8216;walkies&#8217; in Mossel Bay.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch: Mossel Bay Spotted a Sheep Taking a Stroll on the Beach!<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.facebook.com%2FMichaelDeNobrega%2Fvideos%2F680096174953284%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For those who thought sheep were only farm animals, think again!
