Best Answer

Anything of the large, carnivorous persuasion is the predator of a sheep. Sheep are not incredibly intelligent, strong or fast animals, and thus wolves, aggressive bears, coyotes, mountain lions, and other such creatures could make short work of them. (A black bear would not be prone to eat a sheep, however if you live in a place where Grizzlies, brown bears, or anything else of the sort might be a problem, your sheep could be in jeopardy).
