Kobe beef get a beer and a massage. North Carolina's cows train for a triathlon.

Damn, these cows are experts.

A very mooing experience ...

Weren’t they told about not getting leather wet?

[CGASMIA68]

Bull??

[gov_bean_ counter]

So they were located on the Utter Banks???

[Think free or die]

Poor cows must have been pretty hungry and thirsty after such a swim.

[Repeat Offender]

Nobody expects the “turf” to be what’s swimming away from their surf and turf.

"train for a triathlon"

Specifically the annual Iron Cow Triathlon.

Cow-a-bunga! They rode the waves to a new destination! 🐄 🏄

[dainbramaged]

Deer are surprisingly good swimmers, too. I watched a brown bear swim across a mile wide inlet in SE Alaska way back when.

Maybe some of the 28 Banker Ponies from Cedar Island assumed to have drowned made it to Cape Lookout as well, it’s a very long island, uninhabited other than fishermen and a few park rangers. Those ponies may have been wild but they all were named, it really upset the residents on Cedar Island.

“Water? Are you crazy? I never drink water: cows swim in it!”

[Alas Babylon!]

But swimming miles of open water in a hurricane is outside their general range of expertise.

I would argue that they didn't have much choice.

Swim or die.

[yarddog]

A lot of those barrier islands have ponies on them. I don’t think anyone knows how they got there. Maybe they swam.

[left that other site]

Did they catch a steering current?

If I have seen further than other men, it is only because I have stood upon the shoulder of cows.

The Far Side comes to reality.

I, for one, welcome our new bovine overlords.

The cream always rises to the top. No surprises here.
