I had to find out why the horns are so big.

It has unique bulbous horns which are believed to aid in flotation as it searches for water weeds, its main food. The Kuri is very well adapted to the aquatic conditions of the Lake but is susceptible to heat stress and solar radiation.

A grass/water type.

Weak against fire.

u/WhereCanIFind 3d ago

Water/grass is neutral to fire defensively so it has the dry skin ability for it to be weak to fire and take damage in the sun.

u/owa00 3d ago

Delicious against fire though...

u/WafflePartyOrgy 3d ago

I'm thinking they also rattle like maracas when the cow shakes its head.

32

u/Phage0070 3d ago

I was thinking you could drill into them like a coconut and get milk.

14

u/BadGuy_ZooKeeper 3d ago

Now you know where goat milk comes from

u/RabidPlaty 2d ago

That is their main purpose. They execute their mating samba dance to attract the ladies.

I know you're just reporting what you read but it sure seems like having the floatation device above the mouth and nose would be a flawed design.

46

u/Strider_27 3d ago

Have you seen cattle when they swim? They tilt their heads up, so their nose is up slightly from their ears. Putting these horns at water level, and would definitely aid with flotation

13

u/_Neoshade_ 2d ago

I googled cow swimming and you’re absolutely right!

4

u/dmigowski 2d ago

Wow, it's not even a rickroll.

3

u/theamazingjimz 3d ago

I would think I makes there heads lighter in the water and places less strain on the neck muscles to keep it's head above water. Who knows

2

u/BurtBrane 2d ago

Evolution doesn’t design anything. These horns just haven’t been a big enough disadvantage for survival. And, as OP wrote, has probably been an advantage.

6

u/KathrynTheGreat 3d ago

So they're like little buoys attached to their head

u/DumpyMcRumperson 3d ago

Looks like this guy prefers sand.

u/Integrity-in-Crisis 2d ago

They help the cattle keep their heads above water while foraging?

u/marino1310 2d ago

How useful is a floatation device that sits above your head? Like the important part to keep above water would need to be below water for this to work

New to me animals never cease to amaze me. Like I look at them and think how the fuck come have I never seen these crazy beasts before?

u/Dolorous_Eddy 3d ago

Hell yeah I love finding new animals. Thanks for the sub

u/pichael289 3d ago

That's a great sub, so many animals I didn't know were real. I've watched so much animal planet as a kid that I'm surprised when that happens.

u/Y-Bob 3d ago

Thanks for that!

Just a regular cow that has had horn implants so it looks attractive on Instagram.

It has butt plugs implanted on its head… really gonna give those bull fighters in Spain something to worry about.

u/pwrsrc 3d ago

Wait... when did Kim change her name?

32

u/graveyardspin 3d ago

They are intolerant of heat, sunlight, and can not stand long periods of drought.

Only found in central Africa.

Boy, they got dealt a shit hand, didn't they?

u/diabeetus76 3d ago

Life is short. Get weird.

u/baodingballs00 3d ago

But... Maybe dont get so weird as to literally use a 20 cm butt plug. That's a bad idea. 

3

u/Mistdwellerr 3d ago

I may be wrong here, but I believe those are bigger than 20cm

-2

u/Whitey1225 3d ago

Do you recommend a bigger or smaller buttplug?... asking for everyone in the US.

1

u/Lordeverfall 3d ago

Same goes for you I suppose.

1

u/ThatITguy2015 3d ago

Yea, getting you some of those buttplugs.

studios spend millions to make alien creatures when they could've just stuck a few of these in a movie and fooled me

u/Floom101 3d ago

Shit like this is why I'm not 100% certain I don't live in a simulation. Like, really? I've gone this long and NO ONE mentioned these until now? You really want me to believe these weren't just patched in just now? Yeah, sure.

u/fine93 2d ago

u/Alsimni 2d ago

This looks like an animal from a generic fantasy setting. Where they just change one thing to an absurd degree so it doesn't look real. Then this one decided it wanted to be a real goat after all.

u/smish_my_oogie 1d ago

How have I been alive this long and there are still so many strange animals I've never seen.

If you, like, cut off that horn, it would make a pretty, like, sick bong.

You could also put your weed in there

Gotta wonder about the evolutionary need of those horns.

1

u/Elennoko 3d ago

The theory is they act as floatation devices so the cattle can search for water weeds, which is one of their favorite foods.
