Sheep are known to follow their herdmates quite blindly and without a thought. Many farmers will tell you that its just a matter of nudging the Sheep that's in the front in the right direction and the herd follows. But there has to be a limit to this tendency right? A sheep might just think its too tired to follow the herd or something right? But it appears the ingrained tendency to follow the animal in front runs so deep that it makes the Sheep forget basic necessities like food and water.
A herd of Sheep was seen walking in a circle for 10 days straight! The baffling incident was caught on CCTV camera installed in the pen.
The bizarre scene unfolded in a farm in Inner Mongolia region of China. The sheep of one Ms Miao appeared to be fitted with supercharged batteries as they went round and round in circles for nearly two weeks. The news has been reported by People's Daily China and video has been posted online.
In the video, the Sheep can be seen walking in an endless circular loop. Some of them appear taking a break from the marathon and standing in the middle of the circle appearing clueless. But they soon join the group effort that goes on incessantly like there is no tomorrow.
