Cows are awesome.
And here are some reasons why.
1. Cattle are extremely curious and actually pretty intelligent. They investigate everything around them and, when feeling up to it, have been watched to even spend several hours investigating the same thing in order to try and solve a problem they see. Detecting a problem and trying to solve it without having any ulterior motive to do so (e.g. hiding treats behind the door to get the cow to open it) is a trait only felines are otherwise known to have. Not even dogs will try to solve a problem without you having to blackmail them into it.
2. Cattle are most certainly able to learn and understand "accents." A farmer in Germany always had his horses, sheep, goats and cows in one herd on the same willow for years. One day, he observed something strange. A cow and a few goats were sleeping together in a small group. Upon further weeks of observation, he watched the cows in the herd frequently "visiting" the goats, sheep and horses and being able to perfectly blend in with them. From that, he concluded that cows are able to learn another animal's body language and re-interpret their own in order to avoid conflict. Even though they yet have to find solid evidence, animal behavioral scientists think this theory is "very probable."
3. Cattle can feel almost the same amount of emotions than humans! They can distinguish and correctly interpret a variety of bonds, ranging from "best friend" to "worst enemy." Especially older females have even been proven to be able to sense and relate to the emotions of not only other members of their herd, but even other species! Would you let that sink in for a moment? When you see an older cow, chances are she knows what you feel and how that must feel! Other than humans, there is currently no other species known on this planet, who have this ability. No, not even your dog!
