A COW has gone for a four-hour swim in the surf in a bizarre bovine spectacle before drowning off Queensland's coast.

now if enough cows do that, perhaps as an environmental response to increasing temperatures and drought....

That's nothing. Here in the Netherlands we had 150 horses stuck on a tiny island. 18 of 'em drowned

The grassland they were hopping around in was flooded by bad weather.

That's totally and utterly OT, but that's allright, because those make excellent wallpapers!

I saw that dutch horse thing on the news as it was happening. I heard that they were trying to get some horses that were strong swimmers to show the other loser horses how to save themselves. Did that work?

Yep, and the irony is they're going to be slaughtered.

At first they tried massive floating pontoons but the water wasn't deep enough for that because the water level was already dropping. Two days or so later when the water was shallow enough they had some girls on tame horses lure the other horses off the island to the main land.

to be fair though, you dont drown by swallowing water, you drown by inhaling water

i recently watched a cool vid

croc attacking an antelope and dragging it away, then a hippo charges to its rescue and moves it away, then literally does mouth to mouth ( more like putting the antelopes head in its mouth and blowing ) weird shit, like the snake n mouse being pets

gg nature

Nice video. I had no idea Hippos were that intelligent. Too bad his effort was wasted.
