Cows are caring mothers. Like human mothers, cows are pregnant for about 9 months and usually have only one calf at a time. Unlike human babies, calves skip the baby stage and fast-forward to the toddler stage, learning to stand within minutes of birth. But here’s our favourite cow fact: cows are very protective of their calves, watching over them and walking miles calling for them if they get lost. The entire herd plays a role in bringing up the calves, with some breeds operating a ‘guard cow’ system. Each cow in the herd takes turns as the lookout, allowing the others to graze in peace.
