Image of Jordan's sheep circling around themselves
In a strange phenomenon for which no clear explanation has been found until today, a video clip showed a herd of sheep in southern Jordan revolving around itself, in an incident similar to what happened in China , where a herd of sheep revolved around itself non-stop for about two weeks.
The Jordanian youth, Muhammad Al-Nawaisa, who documented the video, told Al-Arabiya.net that he captured the clip in Al-Marj area in Al-Karak Governorate, amidst everyone's astonishment at what is happening.
He also indicated that this phenomenon occurred for the first time in front of him, and many passers-by stopped to take pictures and videos of the herd, as the shepherd in charge of the sheep confirmed that this was happening for the first time in his history.

Mysterious reason
While the reason for the sheep's rotation around itself is still mysterious, despite the attempts of specialists to explain this exciting and strange phenomenon.
There were many explanations for this unfamiliar scene, which baffled specialists. Some reports stated that the sheep's rotation may be due to a bacterial disease called listeriosis, also known as "circulating disease."
Feeling frustrated
While Professor of Medicine for Cattle and Sheep Production at the Australian University of Melbourne, Andrew Fish, ruled out that the reason behind this behavior was "circulation disease", and explained that this infection usually affects only between 1 and 10% of the herd.
"Sheep do this repetitive behavior because they are frustrated with being in the pen for long periods," Matt Bell, a professor in the Department of Agriculture at the University of Hartpury in Gloucester, England, told Newsweek in an interview.
He concluded by stressing that "the sheep staying in the pen for long periods and feeling frustrated leads to a typical behavior, which is the frequent rotation."
