SHEEP may give off an air of innocence with their woolly coats and adorable faces – but underneath is an aggressive side that has seen the farm animals turn killer.

Shocking videos have caught some of the worst attacks on camera – from raging rams headbutting kids to enraged ewes chasing people in the street.

SHEEP TURNS ON SHEPHERD

A dramatic clip shows the moment a shepherd was knocked off their feet by own of their own sheep.

Dashcam footage captures a car driving down a road before coming across a herd of sheep, a shepherd and a dog.

But as the sheep turn to run away from the car, one of the sheep ploughs straight into the shepherd – sending them flying before they hit the ground.

As the shepherd attempts to get up, the sheep then attacks again – viciously jumping on the shepherd as they kick their legs in a bid to get the animal away.

And just as the shepherd tries to stand back up, the sheep once again runs at them, violently headbutting them to the ground.

RAM HEADBUTTS CHILD

After accidentally straying into a sheep enclosure, a four-year-old boy in Tongliao, China, suffered the wrath of one creature.

Footage shows one of the sheep walk over to the boy and slowly circle him.

But what appears to be playful at first quickly turns sinister as the vexed sheep then repeatedly slams the tot – pacing back before charging at the boy over and over.

A man is then seen running over as he scares the sheep away and climbs into the enclosure to save the child.

Thankfully, he avoided serious injury.

DEVIL SHEEP TERRORISES COMMUNITY

A town in Brazil appears to terrorised by a badly behaved sheep, with clips showing the farm animals repeatedly chasing people and knocking to the ground.

In one incident, the sheep can be seen slowly following a woman as she crosses a road. It then makes several attempts to charge at her as she tries to wave her arms to stop it.

But the sheep then hits her, causing her to hit the pavement as a man kicks in the sheep's direction to scare it off.

The sheep then sets its sights on him – walking backwards before hurtling towards to man repeatedly as he tries to hide behind a tree after wildly kicking out at it.

In another clip, the same sheep can be seen following two people on a motorbike.

Undeterred by the moving vehicle, the animal headbutts the bike – causing the two people to lose their balance.

BRUTAL MUTTON BUSTING

Children are brutally thrown from sheep and even trampled as they take part in mutton busting.

It is held at rodeos and see kids usually aged between four and eight – weighing less than 65 pound – ride and race sheep.

Kids usually fall from the farm animals within just eight seconds.

They normally wear helmets too with the sheep known to launch their riders off.

A wild photo shows the moment little Julian Apodaca fell off, hitting the ground in Sant Fe, New Mexico, and the sheep jumped over him.

ELDERLY MAN KILLED BY ANGRY SHEEP

When an elderly man set out for a walk in the countryside, little did he realise it would have a grisly end.

The 94-year-old never returned home, and cops found his body by the side of an isolated footpath near the village of Cestas, France.

After spotting wounds across his face and body, they realised he had been savaged by a sheep – believing the creature charged at him before trampling him to death using its hooves.

Local newspaper Sud Ouest reported that a number of people had seen an "aggressive sheep" in the area.

Police rounded up the "troublemaker" animal and reportedly put it down.

WOMAN KILLED BY 'THERAPY' SHEEP'

Just last week, a 73-year-old volunteer was feeding therapy animals when a sheep repeatedly rammed her.

The woman, identified as Kim Taylor, suffered extensive injuries and went into cardiac arrest before her death at an area hospital, authorities said.

Taylor had served as a volunteer at Cultivate Care Farms, a nonprofit offering farm-based therapy in Bolton, Massachusetts, for 14 months before the incident.

Police said she was working alone in a pen around 9am when the sheep charged her.

There were no witnesses to the ramming, according to Cultivate Care Farms.

RAMS CHARGES AT MOTORBIKE

Dramatic footage shows a ram repeatedly targeting motorcyclist.

At first, the sheep charges head on towards the vehicle, hitting it head on – forcing the biker backwards.

The sheep then hurtles towards the motorcyclist again before giving chase as the biker tries to get away.

As the biker swerves off track, the sheep follows at pace, running behind before headbutting the back of the bike.

The biker gets off and is then knocked to the ground by the ram. They then wiled a branch to get the sheep away as they try to get back on the bike – but the sheep doesn't give up as continues to chase them.
