Cows are one of the most popular domesticated animals in the world.

Did you know that adult females are generally called cows? Yes, it’s true!

However, adult males are called bulls, while baby cows are called calves.

Did you know that cows have a special stomach that’s divided into four different compartments?

Cows are herbivores, which means they eat plants, grasses, grains and hay.

Cows consume about 40 pounds of food every day.
