James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Just because humans are at the top of the food chain doesn’t mean they dominate athletic competition against animals.

Not only are these sheep utterly obliterating these people during a marathon in Munich, but they’re also using their hooves to drop the hottest beat of 2017.

Seriously, though, how did all these sheep get loose and join the race? Were they a planned part of the course? Did a distracted shepherd let them out of their paddock? Why are they so polite while running? These are mysteries we may never know.

We do know that running with sheep is preferable to running with deer, judging from this video.
