Sheep cyclone attacks - video

If you believe a bunch of Mayans and carnage-loving director Roland Emmerich, then 2012 is the year that the world is coming to an end and only those who are buddy-buddy with John Cusack will survive.

So what catastrophe should we be desperately bracing ourselves for? An asteroid? Tidal wave? Supervolcano? Or...perhaps a sheep cyclone.

Yes, recent terrifying video footage captured in southern Russia has suggested that there's another natural phenomenon we should all be afraid of, namely an ever-spinning windstorm of fluffy livestock that threatens to enslave us all (and our cars).

When it strikes, not even horns will be able to save you and anyone who can come to your aid will, rightly, be too busy laughing.
