Ungulates in general are VERY underestimated when it comes to intelligence, even though they are a very succesful group of mammals.

There is a carnivore bias as well as an anthropocentric bias when studying animals. Cows have rich inner lives and qualia, this is beyond question.

how is this new? cows use things to scratch themselves all the time, is it because it's a broom? you can give it a normal stick and it will do the same, I find it more unique when they play with balls, how do they even know what is a ball made for?
