'All's wool that ends wool,' the Coast Guard joked after rescuing 'Lucky Louis' on Lambay Island on the east coast of Ireland.
A sheep was recently rescued by the Irish Coast Guard after a 30-foot fall from an island cliff. Thankfully, the sheep only sustained minor injuries and was returned to his home on the island. But the island, as it turns out, is not only home to an abundant sheep population; it's also become well known for its farming and thriving wallaby population.
The island is privately owned and sits off the east coast of Dublin. It doesn't have a large permanent population; however, its farm produces meat that is distributed throughout Dublin and used in some of the area's Michelin star restaurants, . The farm's meat includes lamb and venison. But some of Lambay's special guests can also try fresh wallaby meat.Though wallabies are native to Australia, the island's owners wanted to introduce exotic animal life to Lamaby in the 1950s and '60s, so they decided to raise a small family of wallabies,reported in 2014. Then, in the 1980s, The Dublin Zoo transported several more wallabies to Lambay.
Now, thousands of miles from home, a family of wallabies is thriving on Lambay, alongside sheep, deer and sea birds.
