Annie, a Shetland lamb, seems to be a natural soccer player!

Shetlands are small sheep, bred not to take up much space in their native Shetland Isles off the northern coast of Scotland.

Other animals unique to the Shetland Isles include the more familiar Shetland pony and Shetland sheepdog, as well as breeds of cattle and goose. Another native Shetland breed, the Shetland pig or grice, became extinct in the early part of the 20th century.
