The mystery of the sheep walking in circles for 12 days has been solved. Onlookers were worried as to why the hundreds of goats on the farm were walking around in circles without stopping. Goats on a farm in Inner Mongolia, northern China, behaved strangely. This video was released by the People’s Daily. They reported that the goats were perfectly healthy, but the reason for the strange gait remains a mystery. People were surprised to hear that the goats were walking in circles for 10-12 consecutive days. The interesting thing is that even though there are many barns in the farm, only the goats in the barn number 13 behaved like this.. Professor Matt Bell, an agricultural researcher at the University of Hatpury in England, came up with the answer to the question why the goats behaved like this.
Goats may have been housed in that stable for a long time. He found that the goats behaved in this way because of the boredom that arose from staying in the same place permanently, leading to frustration. A sense of increasing desperation made the goats go round and round without stopping. At first only a few goats roamed around like this. Then, as if to support them, most of the goats in the field were circling non-stop. Owner Milovo explained that none of the goats in the other barn have this problem.
The goats started behaving like this from November 4. Goats are gregarious creatures. Therefore, it is natural for them to follow the actions of their group. It is not yet clear whether the goats have stopped circling or whether they are consuming food and water properly. Goats are kept in 34 stables in the farm. The owner also stated that only the goats in one stable are behaving in this strange way.
