Hi there! Did you know that sheep can run pretty fast when they want to? Even though sheep might look fluffy and slow, they can run up to 20 miles per hour (about 32 kilometers per hour)! That's almost as fast as a car driving in a neighborhood.

To help you imagine this, think about how fast you run when you play tag with your friends. Sheep can run much faster than most people run! They use their speed to get away from danger or to move quickly to new food.

So, next time you see a sheep, remember, they might look calm and gentle, but they can be very speedy runners!
