Gentle giant Monster helps new calf stand
26 Jul
Summary
- A Watusi steer named Monster gently nudged a newborn calf.
- Monster, a castrated bull, showed no aggressive tendencies.
- The nudge was a way to guide the calf and its heavy head.
A Watusi calf, just two days old, received an enthusiastic welcome from its much larger "older brother," Monster. The large steer, affectionately named Monster, gently nudged the newborn to its feet, a behavior Project Cowboy explained as guidance rather than aggression.
Monster is a castrated bull, or steer, and does not possess the aggressive instincts of a full bull. His nudging is a result of the significant weight of both his and the calf's heads. This gentle encouragement, while appearing rough to some, is a natural way for Monster to interact with the calf.
Social media users were amused by the interaction, with many commenting on Monster's determined efforts to help the calf stand. The video captures a tender moment of interspecies sibling interaction, highlighting the gentle nature of Monster despite his imposing size.
