You don't look like any cow I've ever seen!
This horse(named Blake) is one heck of a cow pony---my husband uses him in the summer months when he helps some of the local ranchers with shipping(cattle). The horse likes to "eat" cattle--especially when he's in the corrals! He will lay his ears back and bite at them. And this is just because he's a born and bred quarter horse. So, when the buffalo(bison) were turned out in the pasture by our house, he didn't know quite what to think of these smelly, hairy cattle things! We have laughed at him especially when the buffalo walked up to the fence and tried to get a closer look at him. The first couple of days all the horses were scared but Blake finally figured out that they're just another version of bovine
He really gets mad if they get too close and will lay his ears back and bare his teeth. You can almost guess what he's thinking "You ugly cow! There's only one little fence separating us or I'd be all up in your business!!" 
Animal behavior is so funny sometimes
.
Thanks for looking!

. The deer we've been feeding by our house don't like these buffalo too well. One doe got caught in the middle of the buffalo herd and almost hurt herself trying to find a way out. The buffalo just wanted to see what she was,,,but she wasn't going for that!
