Photo of the day: Mark Melancon posed with a very fluffy sheep in New Zealand

By Jessica Kleinschmidt

Since it's the offseason, perhaps you've had a moment to check out Mark Melancon's latest SYFY thriller: "Sharkhorse Park." While he did get the approval of the television network known for making cult movies like "Sharnado," the flick hasn't been made … yet. So he will just have to hang out with the sheep until then.
During the Giants reliever's downtime, he was spotted posing for a picture with the fluffiest sheep you will lay your eyes on -- and the animal seemed to be raising his fist, or offering a high-five or even perhaps raising his hand, we don't quite know:

What we do know is that it seems like Melancon's time in New Zealand is extra special.
