Q5 Which animal displays the mostinteresting gender differences?Q5 A5 Sean Kernan,Updated 4y I’ve always beenamused by the gender differences with Cattle. Cows are relativelynon-threatening, typically not aggressive, many willing to let you come and petthem. Bulls - not somuch. Many resemble steroid injected versions, muscled, with horns they aren’tafraid to use. And I don’t faultthem. Their genes charge them with protecting herds of relatively defenselesscows. The dimorphismbetween cows and bulls never seems more on display than in Bull Riding, apopular sport in the United States. It is a relativelysimple sport, if you stay on the bull for 8 seconds you win. But it is reallytwo sports.There are the riders. And there are the bulls. Each set have theirown ranking systems and point allocations given. Now if you aresomeone who roots for the bull, I have someone for you to meet. Insert Bushwacker. As a calf, hisowners noted that he was particularly irritable and aggressive. He frequentlywould not cooperate, or try to charge and challenge his trainers.They knew theyhad a special bull on their hands though.They continued training and raisingthe calf.He eventually emerged into a 775 KG ball of muscle, attitude and sheerathleticism. When he entered thesport of Bullriding, he immediately made a name for himself, making quick workof every rider.His attitude, combined with his incredible athletic ability,made him a terrifying ride. But what does itmean to be an athletic bull? For starters, hewas able to go almost completely vertical with his hind legs when bucking.Hehad explosive power. Upon opening the gate, he went from a standstill, to anunpredictable twitch and explosion in random directions. He had the abilityto leap, repeatedly, as if bouncing off the ground, several meters straight upinto the air while spinning.’m not sure I’ve seen a cow leave the ground likethat. Bushwacker went ona meteoric run, being featured on ESPN and many other outlets as he went on toset the world record for most consecutive buckoffs. For 42 straightrides he sent a Who’s Who list of champion Bull Riders flying off of him likedolls.e is considered the Michael Jordan of Bulls in this sport. So where is he now? He is now inretirement. And it is a cozy retirement at that. His chief job is to relax inpastures, be comfortable, eat grass and make babies with any of his 20 cows.Anddespite his warrior past: He’s actually a rather gentle father. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
