LaughableIKR on May 26, 2026 7:11 pm I guess when you are a large gas bag for a stomach, you’ll float like it’s nothing.
Thick_Duck on May 26, 2026 7:12 pm Cows can also run fast as hell for how fat they are. They are the fatletes of the animal kingdoms
AutoX_Advice on May 26, 2026 7:15 pm Now whoever thought “hey I’m going to take my cows and push them off the boat to see what happens”. Cows, be like “we got this”.
MouseSoft8143 on May 26, 2026 7:15 pm As a kid we had the rumour in our school that the anus of a cow can’t close firmly and that they will fill up and drown lol
beecherrrr on May 26, 2026 7:16 pm The question remains….how do they get back on the boat? Are they hamburgers and steaks on the return trip?
ReasonablyConfused on May 26, 2026 7:19 pm You can tell by the way they jump in. . . That this is not their first rodeo.

ibreathembti on May 26, 2026 7:22 pm i wish cows in my country could swim as freely and not had to feed on waste
-retaliation- on May 26, 2026 7:23 pm To be clear, cows ***CAN*** swim. They are not “really good swimmers” outside of that frame of reference lol. They’re “good swimmers” compared to a giraffe for example, for sure. But compared to like, a bear, nope. Not a very good swimmer. Lol
thatpokemonguy on May 26, 2026 7:25 pm How do they get them back? The promise of greener grass on another island?

SolidBlackGator on May 26, 2026 7:38 pm Cows just dive off boats into the water but won’t walk down stairs? (I remember something about cows not doing stairs… Maybe it’s just a myth?)
ShovelKing3 on May 26, 2026 7:38 pm They can’t walk down stairs but they can swim well. The mo you know
FlyinWet on May 26, 2026 7:40 pm Cows are terrible for the environment so might as well ruin some island ecosystems smh.
Mord4k on May 26, 2026 7:41 pm I know The Emerald Isle isn’t known for sharks so this is purely hypothetical, but can you imagine what being a shark in this moment would be like?
