Why fly when you can walk?


At The Ponds the other day, these ducks wanted to get from the shore to the water. And did they fly? No, they walked!

Why do cows all face the same direction? I got some wonderfully imaginative answers to my question. And in the Internet world there seems to be little consensus. It seems that: 1) no one knows why they do it, and 2) many disagree that cows do it at all. This web site talks about cows perhaps having a sense of the magnetic north and south: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,410284,00.html

And here's some hilarious craziness about the subject:
