Because She Can
Couple Things…
1) Just like humans, cows use their tongues to drink and break down food. But did you know that they curl their very large tongue around the grass and feed they eat? She then chews her food, swallows, then regurgitates the food as cud to be chewed again.
2) The average cow moves its jaw (and tongue) 40,000 to 60,000 times per day just chewing food.
But why does a cow stick her tongue up her nose? Well, because she can.
How’s that to spice up your Monday.
P.S. #249 says your eyes would water too if you had to stand out in this roaring wind today.

Hahahaha! I have been trying to capture that “event”, too! I crack up when I see it…
What an awesome “close-up”.
She sure can..
That red beauty makes me smile, even if she is sticking her tongue in her nose.
Perfect picture with perfect caption! I’m afraid to show it to my sons (ages 27 and 25) because they might see it as a challenge and hurt themselves. Sometimes they aren’t very bright (more time than I care to admit!).
Thanks for making me smile!
Hilarious!! Thanks Katie!
Hey, this made me smile! Lynne
Glad I could help.
Great title Leah! (:
My eyes water in cold weather and gentle wind….. pretty much all the time! Hope you get a wind break for a few days in a row soon!
Thanks Melissa! I’ve been asked “Leah, do you know why that Elk is scratching his ‘boys’ with his antlers? Because he can.” I figure it’s the same for cows too.
Ni-ice! I love the light and colour in the image though. Thanks for sharing!
PS. I’ve just thought. Maybe it’s because she can’t get her finger up there?! O:)
No fingers but can you imagine trying to get her hoof up there?!!
Holy, Cow! LOL! Great close-up!
Ha! Thanks
I have only recently fallen in love with cows. I have been a City girl all my life and recently introduced to farm life via my boyfriend.
This picture is great! Thanks for showing
Ha I love this picture. So cute. I think cows are so beautiful. Poor things have no tissue to use and we all know how runny a nose gets in the cold.
hehe, that’s hilarious.
Ha! Glad you like this one. They are so funny with their big prickly tongues.
