According to this Twitter update, farm animals are super in right now amongst the skinny jean set. The witness twote, "I just saw a hipster walking a sheep on Bedford Ave. So hot right now!" People, please take photos next time.

To counteract the dreariness of the weather, we bring you exciting news about some of the Central Park Zoo's newest residents: Three baby lambs!

At first, it seemed like budgetary reasons would prevent El Museo del Barrio from having three camels—as well as sheep—for its 32nd Annual Three Kings Day Parade. Renting the animals would have cost $3,500, money the museum decided would better be put towards programming. But in a New Year's miracle, WCBS 880 reports the city's Office of Immigrant Affairs "secured a donation from Atlantis Management Group, which develops gas stations and Dunkin' Donuts shops," which has helped bring the baa back into the parade. Residents also chipped in for the rental fee to make sure the kings get to bring the gold, frankincense and myrrh in style. The Three Kings Day Parade starts at 11 a.m. at 106th Street & Third Avenue; the route goes up Third, across 116th, down Lexington and will ultimately end 115th & Park (PDF with details).
