That sheep and how the ticks 'attacked' the investigators and the owner when they entered the paddock sounds terrifying and like something out of a horror movie. How do you protect yourself from 100 ticks trying to suck the blood out of you until you die?
I'm never going outside near nature again. Cities are good for some things :)
Sounds like the chupacabra.
That literally translates to sucking-goat in Portuguese.
this is why we need super strong borders with import/export inspection, with fumigation and quarantine. Kind of like California's fruit inspection point, but more serious.
