According the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the adorable lamb's unique coat is a result of its purebred white Dorper father and cross-bred Dorper and Van Rooy mother. We're not too familiar with the various sheep breeds, but one thing is certain; that mix sure results in one adorable lamb!
So, what should this spotted animal be called? Owner John Bolton suggests "Sheep-matian" or "Dal-dorper. We sort of like "Lamb-ation" or maybe something simple (and totally cliché) like "Spot."
