Chilly lamb gets cute custom-made coat after being born without a fleece

After being born without his fluffy white coat, owners of the brilliantly-named Skippy decided to take matters into their own hands and fashion a special fleece for the little guy.

Images of Skippy, which were taken at a farm in Wiltshire, UK, were shared by BBC Wiltshire on Facebook.
"We've made a little jacket for him to wear out of an old jumper to keep him warm at night," farm hand Sally-Ann Fisher told the BBC.
Here's Skippy, in all his fluffy coat-wearing glory.
Although Skippy's condition is uncommon, apparently it does happen from time to time.
"Some breeds with less wool might be susceptible but it is extremely unusual and not something we would see," National Sheep Association spokesperson Hannah Park told the BBC.
Get warm soon, Skippy.
