A flock of sheep in Inner Mongolia have been walking in a circle for over 3 days and nobody knows why.

Could be an artifact of their natural flocking behavior being constrained by the pen they're in. Something about that particular location and size of the pen is causing their natural behavior to sort of fold in on itself. Move one of the walls of the pen and see if the looping behavior becomes something more complex or brownian.

if you tell a bunch people to walk in random direction in a limited space, they will end up walking in concentric circles. Takes a couple of seconds to form up.
Once you get into that motion, you can't stop or change direction to sharply, as you will start bumping into others or others into you, which for a sheep might mean it will get picked off by wolves.
This is not just some subconscious herd programing either, it's just spatial mechanics.
In large groups, individuals start behaving like fluid particles and you get vortexes, streams, pressure waves, turbulances, etc.
That's why people get crushed in mobs like in Korea the other day
people think they can just stand their ground - they can't, you need to keep walking until the pressure drops

I couldn't find video from the human study I've seen like a decade ago, so here are ants I guess

The farmer spent weeks training one of his sheep to walk in circles and the remaining sheep copied it like sheep.

I asked my WOKE SJW friend why and Xe said it is obviously because the farmer is failing to allow the sheep to express their inter-sexual desires.

I've heard that something like this can happen with ants because of how they lay pheromone trails. They'll get caught endlessly walking in a closed loop following the same trail over and over again until they run out of energy, because they're laying more pheromone and reinforcing the loop
