Two adorable twin lambs have been born at a UK zoo. Marking the start of lambing season, the babies were welcomed at Noah's Ark Zoo Farm in North Somerset. Last year, the farm embraced a chocolate-inspired naming theme, with lambs christened Curly, Wurly, and Wispa. Continuing the tradition, the zoo has opted for a savoury twist this year - crisps. Marketing and Communications Coordinator at the farm Molly Shutt said: "Our first lambs of 2025 are called Nik and Nak.". The farm is now asking for name suggestions for the other lambs. Dorset lambs, known for their distinctive white woolly coats and friendly nature, are prized for their adaptability and fine-textured wool.
