Then stunned Turkish shepherds, who had left the herd to graze while they had breakfast, watched as nearly 1,500 others followed, each leaping off the same cliff, Turkish media reported yesterday.
In the end, 450 animals died, the daily newspaper Aksam said.
Those which jumped later were saved as the pile got higher, cushioning the fall.
Now I've got a whole new way to count sheep when I'm trying to get to sleep!
