Cows Instinctively Know North

September 8, 2008 | ISSUE 44•36

German and Czech researchers have discovered that cows tend to align themselves in a north-south direction when grazing or resting. What do you think?

People, people, there's no need to panic. They haven't learned east and west yet.

Only when they're grazing or resting? Are there other cow activities of which I'm unaware?

Daphne Mussey
Systems Analyst
That's sad. If I could sit just one cow down and reveal to it the beauty of a sunrise or a sunset, I'd feel like I made a real difference.
