View submission: Why do sheep stare at us?
I think it’s because they are a prey animal and they are trying to sus out if you are a threat or not.
Being a farm animal, and used to being around some humans, they are unsure if all humans are a threat or not.

They are looking to see if you're carrying food, are you one of the walkers with a carrot or cabbage leaves in pocket, are you the farmer with a bag of tasty treacle laced food.
