I notice lions on the hunt… and a small village in the background. And last I checked, it’s only the females that do the hunting… It’s the males that sit back waiting to be fed… very domesticated scene- the “herd” of bovine creatures (all two of them) seem out of place. The herd only has strength if it’s large enough to affect the “edge of the herd” dynamic.
But with only two in the herd, then, well, the effect is lost…
Looks like a spotted cow… from Wisconsin… could be that our next “adventure” will be taking us into the Heart of Darkness where Mark will help villagers figure out how to keep their livestock from becoming prey…
I’m actually ready for a good old-fashion “Rusty gets lost in the woods” story. Anyone? I miss those. Uncomplicated fun.
The search for Bessie led me to this interesting compilation of photographs of African bovine species: http://www.biw.kuleuven.be/dp/I374/afrocattle/ppframe.htm. My eye tells me that we are looking at a touareg or a baoule, though we’ll have to wait for further views to confirm that . . . assuming our Bessie survives the night intact.
