00:00Cows are among the most unpredictable animals around people.
00:04Every year, they're responsible for an estimated 20 to 50 deaths worldwide.
00:09More than sharks, tigers, lions, or grizzly bears combined.
00:14An adult cow can weigh anywhere from 1,300 to 1,800 pounds.
00:20And even a quick shove, powerful kick, or sudden horn strike can turn deadly.
00:25They are prey animals, which means their instinct is to react fast when they feel threatened.
00:30If they're cornered, startled by a loud noise, or protecting a calf,
00:35they can charge or lash out without any warning.
00:39Unlike large predators that usually avoid humans,
00:42cows share fields, farms, and roads with us every single day.
00:47That's why the real danger often isn't the animal with sharp teeth,
00:51but the one we assume is completely harmless.
