Chinese government-run media People's Daily tweeted a video of the strange occurrence and dubbed it the "great sheep mystery." Hundreds of sheep walked in a circle for 12 days in China and nobody knows why.
In China, hundreds of sheep continued to walk inexplicably in a circle for 12 days. The strange behavior was caught on tape and is now widely popular online.
The flock of sheep reportedly circled a farm in Inner Mongolia, China, for about two weeks while moving in a clockwise direction.
There are reportedly 34 pens in all at the farm, according to their owner, a woman only known as Ms Miao. However, only the sheep in pen 13 demonstrated their eerie, incessant walking behavior. She added that a few sheep initially began to circle before being joined by others.
