Lambing season in the capital Petting Zoo
The only type of sheep in Iceland is the native northern European short-tailed sheep brought there by the settlers, the Vikings, 1100–1200 years ago. There are almost half a million sheep in Iceland outnumbering the human population (325.000) by a good margin. In May the margin grows even larger when the lambing season starts. The Reykjavík Petting Zoo in Laugardalur valley has a small flock of sheep. This coming weekend is a great time to stop by to witness the newborn lambs taking their first tiny step into the outside world. There are two newborns already around and more are expected in the next few days.
