I’ll admit it, I am a sucker for adorable baby lambs. Sheep World, located about an hour north of Auckland happen to have several when we visited. They were amongst several adorable animals they had on the property.
The highlight of the visit is the sheep demonstration. Using the dogs to round up the herd, the animals are brought in, drafted (sorted) and then there is sheering demonstration. It’s interesting, educational, and fun. It ends with the babies, the adorable lambs running in to drink from the bottles, that have been distributed amongst the visitors – mostly younger children.
Practical Information:
- Sheep world is located about an hour north of Auckland on Highway 1, just beyond the main turn-offs for Warkworth.
- It is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm.
- Entry tickets include the show, or you can purchase park only ticket.
- Check out the official website here.
- Sheep World is a great day destination on its own, or it can be the first stop on an adventure around the top of the North Island.

Those lamb are adorable, I couldn’t picture myself that they could bite, I think they just want to eat. Although I admit it, sometimes the cutest animals are the most aggressive, just like the swans, they are beautiful and elegant but very unfriendly and aggressive, they protect their territory really hard. Once I have been bit by one, although I only wanted to stroke her.

I’m guessing the emu.
Your niece is really pretty and I can very much see the family resemblance. She’s a lot like you and Melissa

I’m going to guess that bunny did it. LOL! Was there a candlestick involved?
It is a sad fact that cute animals bite.I guess any animal with teeth can potentially put the bite on you.
Happy Silly Sunday!

I’m going to guess that the Emu did.

I could see each and every one of those animals taking a nibble out of her.

Your niece is very cute, so you can’t blame them for nibbling! Thank goodness she didn’t get hurt. She must be very brave like her auntie!
