Surely, sheep are more intelligent than this. Or can they just not see whats coming up because all they can see is the sheep's butt in front of them?

perhaps they had a sickness.

perhaps they were following the jesus sheep and thought they were jumping to salvation.

this is hilarious! (not for the shepherds) sheep jumping off the cliff is funny, but the fact that they were more cushioned as the pile grew higher is even more entertaining.

that was what made me chuckle as well, just imagining a literal "heap/pile/mountain" of sheep.

I'm trying so hard not to burst out laughing here at work at the image of a herd of sheep jumping off a cliff.

In the end, 450 dead animals lay on top of one another in a billowy white pile, the Aksam newspaper said. Those who jumped later were saved as the pile got higher and the fall more cushioned, Aksam reported.

Funny, but very sad. What a devastating loss to those families.
