You probably have an idea of what kinds of videos often go viral on social media.
One is when it makes people happy and delighted, such as clips about babies.
Those videos that are oddly satisfying usually go viral, too.
Not to mention that there are also ones filled with negativity yet still amass millions of views.
But don’t worry because we will not talk about such a thing in this article.
We’re tackling a video that actually has something to do with sheep, and you know what?
It also went massively viral on YouTube.
As of this writing, it has already garnered more than 4 million views on the aforementioned video-sharing platform.
Animal videos are very popular online.
And the reason behind this?
It’s because they are undeniably adorable and interesting.
This video of sheep herding is one of them.
It’s just a short video, yet it can definitely make someone’s day.
It gives a glimpse of something we don’t usually see right before our eyes.
What is herding?
It’s an act in which a number of animals of one kind move together as a group.
They are guided and protected by a human or “herder” as they move from one place to another.
Furthermore, herding is beneficial to animals. As many animals love to be with others of their kind often, they prefer gathering together and wandering as a group.
It doesn’t end there. Herding has more benefits for any type of animal.
It also helps them to be protected from predators and find sources of food together.
Likewise, it helps them find and attract mates.
It can be assured that they are safe from predators since a herder is leading them.
What are the other common animals that are being herded?
Apparently, herding is not just for sheep. The same can be done to dogs, donkeys, goats, llamas, and many others.
This video will make you appreciate herding more.
This was uploaded by Caters Clips 6 years ago, and it didn’t fail to get millions of views.
It’s an aerial shot of a massive herd of sheep being guided by someone.
They really stick with one another!
The video is definitely fascinating to watch because it shows how the sheep follow one another.
As they move, it doesn’t look real.
And because it’s too beautiful, it seems like it’s just an optical illusion.
The good news is it’s actually real.
It has no edit nor filter.
It’s just thousands of sheep moving together.
You’ll surely enjoy watching this because of the beauty of herding sheep.
Thankfully, it was recorded in a drone.
The field where they are moving is indeed beautiful, and it became even nicer because of the presence of the sheep that are moving around.
Realization
Although herding is only practiced among animals, humans can gain realizations from it.
Isn’t it commendable how they follow each other, and no one leaves the pack?
Their unity is incomparable.
If we, humans, could also do the same thing to protect one another from any danger, the world would surely be a better place.
