'Alien' sheep bring them flocking

A flock of 'alien' sheep has become a local attraction in a Romanian village after all 250 turned green overnight.

The owner of the sheep, in the village of Arsa from Constanta county, called the vet to see what was wrong with his animals.

Locals came flocking to see the unusual sight while the local vet took samples from the sheep wool and discovered they had all been treated with a solution of limestone.

The shepherd said he used the solution to help a few animals get rid of a skin disease.
