A video of a rabbit rounding up a flock of sheep in Sweden has gone viral on YouTube.

The staggering clip of the animal taking on the role of a sheep dog at a farm in the village of Ornskoldsvik, Sweden, has attracted more than 200,000 hits on the video-sharing website.

The small grey rabbit - who is called Champis - directs the sheep by hopping to the side of them to emphasise where she wants them to go.

She is thought to have picked up the skill by watching the farm's sheep dog.
