Description
This informative and entertaining book is full of captivating facts about the Highland Cow. With their unique appearance and gentle nature, Highland Cows are a favourite animal for many people.
Did you know? These cows have been around for one thousand five hundred years, having first been bred in Scotland in the sixth century! They have two layers of hair, with a long overcoat to keep the rain out and a dense fluffy undercoat for warmth — like a waterproof raincoat with a fleecy lining. One Highland Cow can eat seventy kilograms of grass in a single day.
Each spread covers a different aspect of Highland Cow life, from Scottish origins and special adaptations to browsing around and looking after nature. The book contains bite-sized chunks of interesting information coupled with stunning photographs, which combine to make this an engaging and entertaining introduction to the subject that's bound to capture the imagination of any reader.
