How Fast Can a Sheep Run? Fun Facts for 7-Year-Old Kids

Learn about how fast sheep can run, explained simply for 7-year-old children with easy examples and fun facts.

Hi there! Did you know sheep can run pretty fast? A sheep can run as fast as about 20 miles per hour (or about 32 kilometers per hour). That's kind of like a car going in your neighborhood, but much slower than a car on the highway. To imagine that, think about a rabbit running quickly in a field—that's about how fast sheep can run when they want to! They run fast to escape from danger or to keep up with their friends. Isn't that cool?
