DNA analysis of Oetzi the Iceman's clothes has traced their origin to at least five different species of animal...

The Iceman's belongings that the team pinpointed were:

* leggings made from goat skin

* a shoelace of cow leather

* a sheep leather loincloth

* a quiver made of roe deer

* a fur hat, with straps, made from brown bear

* a coat of many fragments, incorporating both sheep and goat skin

A dimension of pure BEES
See my vest, see my vest
Made of real gorilla chest
See this sweater, there's no better
Than authentic Irish setter!
