Cows can enjoy being petted and cared for. Left to behave naturally, cows show a lot of physical affection. They like to lick each other, especially on the neck, to form bonds. The feeling of being stroked is relaxing and comforting. Humans can also use touch to help calm cows. By stroking a cow on the neck, we activate this bonding sensation and reduce their fear of humans, though it’s important not to stroke them in the wild.

Fun fact of the day: Ironically, the fear of long words is called Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. The 36-letter word was first used in the first century BCE to criticize writers with an unreasonable penchant for long words.
Did you know? During a tennis match, a player runs an average of 3 miles.
On this date in sports:
- In 1839, the first Grand National steeplechase at Aintree Racecourse, Liverpool: Jem Mason wins aboard the 5/1 favorite Lottery.
-
In 1935, the New York Yankees released Babe Ruth, and he signed with the Boston Braves
- In 1960, David Jenkins won the men's figure skating gold medal at the Squaw Valley Winter Olympics; the US took the singles double after Carol Heiss won the women's event.
-
In 1961, at the 3rd running of the Daytona 500, Marvin Panch won in a 1960 Pontiac owned by Smokey Yunick when race leader Fireball Roberts' car suffered a blown engine with 13 laps remaining.
Today is National Chili Day!!!!
On this date in history:
- In 1993, a truck bomb exploded in the garage of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing six people and injuring more than 1,000. Six men were eventually convicted of what was, at that time, the deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil.
- In 1951, American novelist James Jones published From Here to Eternity, about the U.S. Army in Hawaii before the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor; it was later adapted into an Academy Award-winning movie.
-
In 1929, Grand Teton National Park was established in Wyoming; in 1950, it was expanded to include most of Jackson Hole National Monument.
-
In 1919, the U.S. Congress established Grand Canyon National Park in northwestern Arizona.
-
In 1914, the Britannic was launched at a shipyard in Belfast less than two years after the sinking of its sister ship, the Titanic. Like the Titanic, the Britannic sank, but with significantly fewer casualties.
- In 1885, the Berlin Conference concluded, in which major European countries staked and justified their colonial claims to Central Africa. Afterward, European claims to African territory increased, part of the scramble for Africa, which was already underway.
- In 1815, Napoleon, who had been banished to the island of Elba by a coalition of European powers the previous year, escaped exile and attempted to make a comeback. He sailed to France and headed to Paris; French troops sent to stop him joined his forces. However, they were no match for the might of the troops commanded by the Duke of Wellington. Thus ensued the military campaign known as the Hundred Days, during which Napoleon attempted to rule France and command its army once more. He was, however, no match for the duke of Ellington's troops, and his leadership ended with his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo and banishment to the island of St. Helena.
