The world is full of strange things. Animals have their own emotions or hobbies. The ways they express joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are also different. They can even be described as strange things. Some animals will jump or make joyful calls when they are happy. Of course, some animals also set up special formations, and some animals like to circle.
A flock of sheep in Baotou, Inner Mongolia was spinning around for three consecutive days, as if they were "arranged troops and deploying formations". The owner said it was particularly magical
November 10, a video of a flock of sheep in Baotou, Inner Mongolia was eyeing many people. According to the owner of the sheep, this flock of sheep has been spinning around for many consecutive days, just like they were laying troops and deploying formations. The two days ago, it has been moving slowly, and the circle is becoming more and more round. The owner said it is particularly magical and can't figure it out.
nets have expressed their opinions one after another. Some speculated that there might be some treasures underground. The flock felt it, and then kept circling curiously. Some said that the flock might see wolves appearing, so they began to "train troops" and set up a formation that can defend against the enemy. Some said that the sheep were infected with some kind of parasite, and they would unconsciously turn around, and some even doubt whether it was an abnormal phenomenon.
There have been many things like sheep circling, and the situation is different every time. Some are happy, some are defending against natural enemies, and some are unconsciously spinning. Here are a few real examples for you:
A group of sheep in Hami, Xinjiang once stopped the wedding car and circled around the wedding car, as if sending blessings
On October 19, 2021, in Hami, Xinjiang, a wedding convoy met a group of sheep, and then a very interesting thing happened. The wedding convoy was stopped by the sheep, and then the sheep were surrounded by the main wedding car, that is, the vehicle the bride was riding. These sheep were very spiritual, as if they were trying to share the joy of the newcomer, and it seemed like sending blessings to the newcomer.
turned a few times and then it automatically dispersed. It was not as speculated by netizens that they had to get the red envelope before leaving. Some people analyzed that the reason why the flock stopped the wedding convoy was because the flock was curious. When they saw that the main wedding car was the most beautiful car in the convoy, they circled around and cheered and wished them.
Gansu Baiyin A flock of sheep saw the drone and treated it as an eagle, and then turned around to defend against the enemy
On January 13, 2018, in Baiyin, Gansu, a herder grazed sheep on the grassland. When the sheep were full, the herder drove the flock home and found a strange scene. The flock that was originally queuing forward suddenly stopped and turned around. At this time, the herder saw a drone flying in the air.
These sheep circle puzzles were found. It turned out that the flock treated the drone as an eagle. Thinking that the eagle was going to capture them, the sheep squeezed together and circled. This is a formation to defend against foreign enemies. When the drone flew far away, the flock returned to its normal formation and walked back.
The flock of sheep infected with parasites will also circle, and even cannot walk steadily
In October 2015, a herdsman in Sichuan kept circling in one direction, and always tilted his head. The herdsman noticed this abnormal behavior and called a veterinarian to check and found that the flock had a kind of hydatum disease, also known as "crazy sheep" and "turning disease".
Sheep are usually infected with this disease by drinking water sources contaminated by insect eggs. Such parasites will have different neurological symptoms due to different parasitic areas. If they are parasitic in the brain, they will often tilt their heads and turn around. When this insect parasitizes the occipital bone area, they will raise their heads high. If they are parasitized in the spinal cord, they will be unable to stand, urinary incontinence, , paralysis, etc.
In fact, in addition to sheep, other animals can also circle, such as dogs, tigers, rhinos, etc.
Dogs are brought by genes and are also a way to defend against enemies
Dogs will be happy to see their owners for a long time, and will also be circled after eating and drinking. Even when you are pooping, you should also circle around and find a good place. Dogs are carried in their genes. A long time ago, dogs developed the habit of circling in order to protect themselves.
The circles of dogs before sleeping and pooping can serve as a good warning to let them confirm whether there are ambushes around them. This behavior allows dogs to determine the wind direction. If there is an ambush, their breath will be discovered by the dog along the wind direction.
Tigers in the zoo will also circle, pass the time without boredom
In February 2021, Beijing Zoo An Bengal tiger kept spinning around the open space, and the trajectory it stepped on was like a drawn in a compass. Netizens said, "Don't you dizzy when you turn such a round circle?" Tigers love sports so much, it is worth learning from! Some people also say that tigers can’t figure out what they can’t figure out, and they have to turn so many circles.
Previously, some people said that tigers were spinning in circles as an anomaly, indicating that something big might happen. For a while, various rumors came. In fact, the reason why tigers were spinning in circles was that in a closed state, the space was small, and there was no way to run straight for a long distance like a tiger in the wild, so they could only use spinning in circles instead.
In fact, many captive animals will have circles. For example, giant pandas will not only go around circles after eating and drinking, but also have various strange formations, such as 8-shaped and 9-shaped. Anyway, these captive animals have nothing to do when they are full, and they are just studying how to get out of the pace of art.
Conclusion:
Why do sheep or other animals go around in circles? In addition to habits, genetics, diseases, or have a certain relationship with the living environment. Of course, sometimes it is an vent of emotions, and it may be to pass the time. In addition to circles, they also have some special behaviors, such as birds pulling their feathers, pandas will run to trees and swing with their forearms , and snow leopards will play with their tails.
