COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT US - THE COWS
So I was thinking this morning that why not I share some common misconceptions with you all, and clear up the air.1. We cows do not have four stomachs. We only have ONE.
2. During bull fighting cows are not aggravated by the colour red. Instead it is because of the waving of the cloth. It is commonly thought that male cows called bulls are aggravated by the colour red. However, this is not true, as cows are red-green colour blind. This means that cows cannot differentiate between the different colours. This misconception came about as trainers for bull fighting are usually seen using a red cloth to spur the cow.
OOHHH SOME FUN FACTS FOR YOU !!!
Well I have decided that you guys don't really know much about cows, do you? In case you're thinking that cows are boring, wait till you get a load of these cool facts! They're sure to change your typical view of cows.
A cow gives nearly 200,000 glasses of milk in her lifetime.
Cows drink 30 gallons of water a day.
A cow has about 207 bones in its body.
It is possible to lead a cow upstairs but not downstairs, because a cow's knees cannot bend properly to walk back down. (SORRY. BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CARRY ME DOWN!)
Cattle can perceive higher and fainter noises than humans can, and they can smell scents that are up to six miles away
Cows are red-green colour blind. That means that we cannot distinguish between red and green
Besides eating grass, cows can also eat waste left over from what humans eat. For example, we can eat candy waste and soybean meal!!!
So just in case you were wondering, those were some facts about me! I hope you no longer think cows are a yawn!
