Clever cow steals food - Clever Critters - BBC Pets & Animals

[So1othurn]

Cows (Bos taurus) are 80% genetically similar to humans, so is this a surprise to see? The other question is, are cows similar to humans, or are humans similar to cows? That is a question that is commonly answered by arrogance.

[Leatootskirootsboot]

ahhhh classical conditioning...works everytime

[hpf12345678910]

My mate has a cow that can count a cow that knows its name and a cow that can unlock a "Cow Proof" door

[carebearnmbr46]

That is one cow they better not send to slaughter! Lots of people would love to have such a smart animal!

[PicoPicoHammah]

She pushes it with her eye. O_O

[Vernondonk]

How adorable!

[Wisdombluetooth]

I love cows :-) they are much harmless than human beings and instead they give milk and fertilizers and unfortunately still slaughtered for meat...

Very smart cow

They should breed such cows until one of the bulls out throw Obama

[Polyron]

I just love the cynicism in this thread

[PonyHaven]

Hmmm, she's a lot smarter than my Cow.

Still, mine is smart enough to make me yelp. All she has to do is stand on my toes ;) .

[ShiroNodrog]

@PonyHaven What the fuck?

[PonyHaven]

@ShiroNodrog

Nope, it's usually, "Oh my God, get off my toes" ;) .

[colliecandle]

certainly far more clever than your CURRENT 'president' !

[TheGoodInventor]

oh my god

[ItsOver9000and10]

What a cow!.. <<< hmm, that was meant to be an insult!

[HipHopDunk]

Animals take over the worlddd :D

[any1020]

i love BBC

[robinzeehood]

thats one smart hunk of beef

[cjgone2]

Clever piece of steak,.

[ntheoret]

And they say that cows are dumb. She's got them fooled !!! lol

[SaviourSole]

ow. she hits her eyeball.

[ganymedia]

Tara the cow... no doubt has a lucrative career, following this television exposure, as a consultant to the tobacco industry on how to survive in the recession...

[critterfreek82]

Having grown up in a rural area, I can attest that cattle are quite a bit more intelligent than we often give them credit for. I've seen them use their hooves to break up pumpkins into more managable pieces before eating them. They recognize people who they've seen before, and can even be trained-for example, to run in a circle or carry a rider like a horse.

[ikutsu2001]

youre so right! i wish ppl saw cows the way you do :)

[gary333snow]

Oh, never mind rjs1n, that's just another one of our "not-so-bright" voters that elected the even less smarter previous president, twice! I guess that's where they get the saying, Stupid is as Stupid does.

[inuismyfav]

dude are presidents is obama now XD

[petloverUK]

Clever cow.

[chumnutzly]

I think this cow might be smarter than our last president....

[kleash]

unfortunately if she keeps on doing that, she'll be fat enough to be eaten :D

[Snauzer67]

hahahaha

[chumnutzly]

lolz

[candyman8909]

yup

[juliosammy]

Dairy cattle are eaten only when they are no longer economically viable for milk because of diseases.

[halfmadgenius]

They probably get turned into dog food when they get to old to produce milk. By that time they would be to tough to be good for humans to eat (meat cattle are slaughtered right at adult hood.) and these are not meat grade animals to begin with. We never eat them but Rover probably does.

[StarCreme]

and then we eat Rover!

The CIIIIIIIIRCLE of LIIIIIIEEEIIIFE!!!

[rerere284]

@kleash

so true XD

[bulboflight]

@kleash they're diary cows tho :P

[peacefulmindhito]

pity on her, she looks very hungry, but she is smart, it was difficult for her to reach the handle, so the place to be touched first is her eyes, hope her eyes are ok. love her. that is why i dont eat beef. sooo cute.

[allstarpcg]

I love her too, i love her so much that i want her in my belly

[MackleJack]

lol

[candyman8909]

me 2

[Cuddles877]

hahaha! How cute.

[xiahuirain]

动物的求生本能

[tenzin1985]

go cow..u rock buddy!!

[ng95680a]

Cows and pigs will take over the world a few hundred years in the future (if we dont destroy the world 1st ofc)

[Verrimgard]

Cool! I didn't know cows were that smart.

She's still pushing it with her eye though. 1:28 Ouch.

[heartborne]

And still you continue to exploit them. Great, *clap* *clap* *clap*.

[HitodamaKyrie]

It's a cow. They were designed that way. Cows wouldn't make it long in the wild. They'd go extinct more than likely.

[heartborne]

Unfortunately you are right, that is all true but, It's still no excuse for exploitation.

[HitodamaKyrie]

Gotta eat, I'm afraid.

[c1catwoman]

cows are smart.

[MeSupaman]

Yea we should start eating them faster before they get even smarter.

[LateNightSunShine]

thats mean!! :)

[emulator900]

if the cow is so clever why doesn't it escape from captivity and get a job so it won't end up as a quarter pounder

[P0werw1se]

I want to pet that cow.

[ridingisasport]

Its not all that special really... Look at other experiments regarding animals and food. Theyve trained pigeons to do it.

[axoll]

I think this cow could beat obama at a chess game

[randhawa72]

funny

[TCSC47]

Our surprise at this is yet another example of how the human race does not credit the rest of the animal kingdom. In this case probably because we don't want to feel guilty when we eat them.

[smaorstu]

I want a BigMac...

[dfry35]

Изька, и тут тебе минусов понаставили...

задумайся Изюня, авось действительно с мозгом чявось не так...

авось рак мозга...

[raider2121]

holy cow

[randhawa72]

funny

[RealitYaDream]

A note for every farmer out there, do not keep your fire arms near farm animals, that is all.

[theslimeylimey]

The expression "you silly cow" doesn't really work anymore.

[SteveRay911]

Did it ever work?

[theslimeylimey]

Now that you mention it, it only ever brought me a heap of trouble so I guess not :)

[ubuibiok]

*****

[SplendidDissenter]

hunh?

[liberalsistah]

Lol! This is why I love cows.

[Infloresence]

that not the only thing they can do...people they don't like get there feet crushed by being stepped on, something they won't do to someone they like...

[KEM0SAVY]

A very clever cow. Remarkable.
