Holy Cow!

Sometimes I see something and then put it aside thinking, yeah got to post about that. Then I forget about it and am pleasantly surprised when I come across it again. In this case, surprise went out the window and my initial "Oh hell no" resurfaced. I can't even count the levels of wrong with a cow this size. (Click on photo to enlarge.)

I'm sure Chili (anyone else find it amusing that they named him that?) is a lovely cow but I wouldn't want to be anywhere near him when he gets pissed (totally resisting a mad cow joke here). He's 6' 6" tall, 6' 7" long and weighs over a ton. Believe it or not, he isn't the tallest cow on record, that title belongs to an Italian bovine named Fiorino.

Chili, who lives at Ferne Animal Sanctuary in Chard, Somerset, is currently being assessed by Guinness Book of Records. Which would put to rest any photoshop theories. He resides there with his normal sized twin sister, who I'm sure is delighted to be considered the slim one.
