Cows Can Swim?

[Rosebud]

Did you all know that cows can swim? I didn't realize they could until I recently read a story about three cows that swam five miles to safety after being swept away in Hurricane Dorian. They must be pretty strong swimmers to have been able to swim all that way! I don't think I could swim five miles.

I think it's hard to believe because of the visual of it. Visualizing a cow swimming looks as unlikely as imagining a fish riding a bicycle.

I agree with Syd L. The thought of a cow swimming sure conjures up some funny images! Swimming five miles to safety is no small feat. Those cows must have strong spirits!

I guess even bovines have a will to survive. Who knew??

They are so slow to move, they do close to nothing all day for years on end, that you would think that if they got into water accidentally they would be like "Meh. Whatever".

I'm pretty sure cowboys used to swim cattle across rivers on westerns.

All mammals can swim.Humans drown because they have free will and let panic take over. Animals just do what is natural.
