When you think of
Scotland, the first
animal that probably
comes to mind is
Nessie, the legendary
and shy monster
from Loch Ness.
However, the Scottish
Highlands are home
to another creature
which is much easier
to spot: the Highland
coo. In Scotland, cows
are called "coos".

The Highland coo is an
ancient Scottish breed
with long horns, long
hair and a fringe that
makes it look different
to other cows. Legend
has it that a long time
ago, a farmer wanted to
impress his wife with a
new variety of cow that
would actually last
through the long
winters.

The coo is also unique
because it can survive
on poor grazing
grounds, eating plants
that other animals
don't. The farmer
crossed a standard
Hereford cow with a
longer-haired smaller
cow and got one of
Scotland's most
popular tourist
attractions!

This cute animal is also
known as "shaggy coo"
or "hairy coo". It has
become a national
symbol of Scotland and
is important for farming
as well as tourism.
If you take a bus tour to
the Scottish Highlands,
don't miss the chance to
take a photograph of
this animal!

Well done!
