So sheep have a natural water-proofing grease to protect their coat.
It ain't 100% proof, but it means it takes a lot more water to drench them. Not to mention, it takes forever to dry. The wool holds up to 30% of its weight in water. The suckers carry a quarter of their weight when wet.
The fastest lamb is probably a sheered one >,>
Edit: The oil is Lanolin, the same thing cats love the smell of!
