Day 10: Cow Day



Today seemed like the day of cattle.                                                                                                       They were wandering loose along the road on the way to the beach:


Then they were peeking out of bushes:



and then in a surprising sight, a this herd was wandering around the beach in the middle of the day. Then they were running along the shore—I don’t know why.


I take a lot of pictures of the cattle that live here because I think they are so interesting to look at. These cattle are brahmas or brahma crosses which are a breed originally from India bred to do well in high temperatures and humidity. Their long ears and thin skin help dissipate heat. All colors occur but white is most common which is a good strategy in a hot, sunny climate. They are all pretty cute,
but the little ones with huge bat-wing ears are my favorite.
