A recently shared video clip of a proud mama cow showing off her newborn calf has taken the internet by storm. But, of course, it’s not every day that you come across such heartwarming scenes, especially involving cows.
Usually, the heartwarming animal videos have adorable little kittens, playful puppies, or cute baby ducklings. But this time, it’s a cow stealing the spotlight and a sight to behold. So the owner was surprised when the cow didn’t show up for dinner the previous night.
However, when the owner finds the mama cow walking in the pasture with her calf, she is filled with excitement in her voice. The woman then calls out to the new mother. As the bovine comes closer, her eyes have an unmistakable gleam of pride.
It’s fascinating to learn that cows possess strong maternal instincts. Given the chance, they will isolate themselves to give birth. This isolation serves two purposes: ensuring the safety of the mother and calf and providing an opportunity for them to bond.
Upon the calf’s birth, the mama cow immediately cleans him. Next, she assists him in standing, which is vital for his survival. The new mom then begins communicating with her calf, helping the little one recognize her voice. Once mama and baby thrive, they either rejoin the herd or take a walk, proudly showcasing their new addition.
This is precisely what happens in the video clip. The mama cow brings her calf to meet her humans. She even shows off her newborn to the owner as if asking the owner, “Look what I have here; isn’t he beautiful?” The owner couldn’t contain her joy, not just for the cow but also for the arrival of the new little addition to the family.
The arrival of a baby, regardless of its shape or size, reminds us of the marvels of life. It’s a testament to the incredible journey of bringing new life into this world. So as we watch the video of this proud mama cow and her newborn calf, we can’t help but be filled with a sense of wonder and awe.
