Link of the Day

Giant squirrels and cows

A two-for-one today. First, there's Knickers the cow:

Knickers is 6'4" and weighs 2,800 lbs. He is a "guide" steer, used to help keep a cattle population calm and help train the younger cows. But goodness, is he huge. The Washington Post, along with the rest of the internet, has a decent article on him.

Then there's North Carolina's fox squirrels, which can be up to 2 feet tall:

There are more details about the chihuahua-sized critters in The Charlotte Observer. Remember, kids, eat your Wheaties; don't give them to the animals.
