This is the bizarre moment a clever sheep used her head to unlock a gate to let her pals roam free leaving farm staff stunned.
A hidden camera captured Lucy the Leicester sheep put her head through the pen’s wooden fence and slide the bolt open with her mouth.
She then pulls the gate inwards to open it and in a matter of seconds, Lucy and her companions are freed and ready to explore the farm site.
Staff at Whitehouse Farm Centre in Morpeth were left baffled when Lucy the one-year-old black and white sheep and her two fellow ewes repeatedly escaped.
To solve the mystery, the farm installed a hidden camera to film the farm animal’s clever breakout.
In the hidden footage, Lucy is seen to check left and right for oncoming staff before unlocking the pen and escaping.
Whitehouse Farm posted the video on their Facebook page on Thursday (16/2) and it has since gone viral with tens of thousands of views and shares.
Social media users were amazed at how intelligent Lucy’s escape plan was.
One user said: “The craziest part was that she knew she needed to open the gate inward.
“That wasn’t an accident push of ‘look I’m free’ situation.”
Another joked: “Lucy pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes – brilliant.”
Another said: “Wow, clever girl.
“And they say sheep are stupid. You have definitely shown them.”
In the post, Whitehouse Farm said: “OMG, a mystery has been solved today at Whitehouse farm.
