Phantom Of The Opera Lamb

This strange-looking sheep baa-res an uncanny resemblance to The Phantom of the Opera - because it was born with a two-tone face.

And he's become an unlikely tourist attraction, with people flocking to see his unusual markings, which have earned him the nickname, The Phantom.

Farmer Paul Phillips, 50, was stunned when the lamb was born with one half of his face black and the other white - just like Michael Crawford's famous character.

He believes the sheep - which he decided to nickname The Phantom - has a recessive gene which has led to the unusual face markings.

Local resident Amy Walker 20, took a picture of the unique lamb while she was walking near the farm in Kimbolton, Herefordshire, earlier this week.
