The reason sheep annoyingly run ahead of your car when you come across them on a country road is cos sheep are unaware cars are unable to mount grassy banks. It is also a defence tactic, as turning to the side presents the oppotunity for the prey to attack the sheeps neck, so the sheep is content to keep its ass facing the car until it believes the prey (yeah, still talking about a car here) has slowed down. Only then will it dart to the side, just like a hare turning at the last second when a whippet dives with its jaws open.1234
