The brown-haired baby cow, born Jan. 2, has to be bottle-fed by its owner, Irakli Dzhgarkava, because its mother refuses to feed it.

Rare 'panda cow' born in CO

A rare miniature cow with markings similar to a panda was born on a farm in northern Colorado.

Farmer Chris Jessen raises miniature cattle and also owns a miniature kangaroo on his hobby farm.

The miniature panda cow is the result of genetic manipulation. A white belt encircles the animal's midsection, and the cow has a white face with black ovals around the eyes, giving it a panda-like appearance.

The mini-cattle are bred solely as pets. Jessen says panda calves can sell for $30,000.

Cute little mini-moos

As adorable as they are, the little cows at the Memphis Zoo shouldn't be mistaken for calves. At more than a year old, miniature cows Cloudy and Darwinia are the newest residents at the zoo's Once Upon a Farm.

Cloudy is only about 25 inches tall at the shoulders and was bred from Hereford and American Lowline stock. Her companion, Darwinia, is 36 inches at the shoulders and was bred from American Lowline and Belted Galloway, a heritage breed with a recorded history some experts say dates back to the 16th century, when farms were smaller.

I'll stick to Coke, thanks

Hindu scientists have devised a new drink made from cow urine.

The drink has been devised by the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Rather coyly, they've called it 'gau jai,' the Sanskrit for 'cow water' and say it is in the final stages of development.

Om Prakash, the head of the department, said: "Don't worry, it won't smell like urine and will be tasty too."

Good to know.
