Chris the sheep, famous for once having the world's heaviest fleece, has died.
He was found carrying a record 41 kilos of wool 4 years ago in the Australian outback.
The then 10-year-old was rescued and taken for a life-saving hair cut.
Animal experts estimated he was carrying around six years' worth of hair growth.
Chris was given his name from an episode of Father Ted.
One of Craggy Island's most decorated "King of The Sheep" winners was the inspiration.

Chris died from old age yesterday at a sanctuary, where he was cared for following that life-saving hair-cut.
"We are heartbroken at the loss of this sweet, wise, friendly soul," the Little Oak Sanctuary wrote online.
"Chris is known as the world record holder for having the heaviest fleece," the post said.
"He was so much more than this, so very much more, and we will remember him for all that we was — someone, not something."
