Cow jump like a Horse

"Luna" cow can jump like a horse? Well, that appears to be the case for "Luna," a Germany-residing cow who thinks she's a horse and behaves like one too. Schoolgirl Regina Mayer, who lives on a farm in Laufen, Germany, didn't worry when her parents couldn't afford to buy her a horse - she just trained her cow to ride instead, reports USA Today. The resourceful 15-year-old spent hours training Luna and the pair now go on long rides together. Luna can also jump over hurdles. After hours of arduous training, the pair regularly embark on long rides through the southern German countryside and do jumps over a makeshift hurdle of beer crates and painted logs, USA Today reports. "She thinks she's a horse," Regina joked. "When she wants to do something, she does it, when she doesn't, she doesn't. And she's often very headstrong but can also be really adorable." 04 more images after the break...

Bull Jumped into the Crowd — Video


A bull jumped into the stands at a bullring in northern Spain injuring up to 40 people, according to officials. It happened in Tafalla, when the animal leapt over the fence and climbed up the stairs of the stands, knocking people over.  A 10-year-old boy suffered stomach wounds while another spectator was gored in the back. The other injuries were minor. Officials later tied a rope around the bull to bring it under control. The animal was removed using a crane and later killed.  Spectators were watching a contest of "recortadores", where participants attempt to dodge the bull as it runs frantically around the arena. The incident comes as the country is split over whether bull fighting should be completely outlawed. Last month Catalonia became the first major Spanish region to ban the deadly sport.
