Now that we have multiple examples of this around the world I felt we should make a thread in case we see more and more of these bizarre videos.

I don't think this can be a disease, we see this in multiple species from mammals, to insects to birds.

found this on YouTube and apparently this isn't a new phenomenon. It's been happening for decades. There are several theories of why this may be happening. Some say may be a bacterial infection in the brain
I hear dogs do it sometimes too when they get a brain infection

That would not explain the ants, or the birds, or the other animals.

Just going by what I read on google, apparently ants do this when they lose the pheromone scent that keeps them in contact with each other so they get confused and just walk in circles until they die

Seriously? If this behavior was normal or common you would have 100 comments on the video from farmers and botanists saying so. These explanations are hocum. I have seen ants and ant hills my entire life and never once did I see a huge mass of ants just walking around and around in circles.

The sheep were in pen #13 and none of the other sheep were doing that.

There was a massive herd of reindeer doing this.

There was a good size flock of birds just circling a field over and over again.

Obviously there is a reason for this and no doubt if this is common someone will come out with video showing they have seen this happen repeatedly in the past.

On the other hand if this is something new we will probably see it again and again in the next few weeks which is why I thought this thread should be started. We can journal that.

If we don't see it again then no doubt in two months no one will be able to give it any more time or thought.

It's probably the same sort of thing that causes whales to beach themselves. Some sort of bacterial infection of some sort. The watchman have all jumped on the bandwagon and are saying it is a sign. I believe there are signs but when they constantly post videos of everything being a sign it all becomes discredited and they make a fool of themselves.

Again it is something to watch. If it is a bacterial infection that spreads from sheep to ants to birds, and it is worldwide as you allege, then that would be very significant.

The pup in my avatar does this. She's done it since she was born. She only goes in one direction. My nephews try to get her to go the other way but she always return to her pattern. She does it when she is anxious, she does it when she is happy or excited. She will do circles around you when you walk. We thought maybe it was a herding instinct, she loves cows. She did break free of her leash one day and tried to herd some cows. So we figured that was the reason for her circles.

Yesterday in South Dakota I must have seen at least 10 flocks of geese flying north. That seemed really weird to me. It is cold and frozen to the north.

This is crazy behavior.
What will we see next, herds of cats?
I saw some other clips on RFB channel.
I don't see any way that magnetism could be doing this. That would be an easy test with a needle in water or perhaps a good compass. I still have no idea.

somebody has got wayy to much time on their hands to watch youtubes of animals walk round in circles. Humans do this too.

As far as I know the earth is round (not flat) so it must be disconcerting for flat earthers on CC.

Wasnt it temple Grandin who observed this in cattle so she designed and built an entire slaughterhouse system based on this observation.
