Ever wondered why Highland cows are blessed with such large horns? Well, this cow appears to have answered those queries.
The animal used a rather risky technique to solve a problem he recently had but it appeared to do the job as he used his curvy two foot long horn to scratch his itchy bottom.
The comical picture of the half tonne beast was taken by Ken McInnes, from Inverness and it has caused winces and chuckles among social media followers.
Mr McInnes, who posted the image on Sunday, said: “It’s got to be done.”
Ann Briggs said: “Bloomin heck, be careful!”
And Judy Gessner commented: “Now we know why the horns are so big. Great pic.”
Caught in the act… Seems this Highland cow just had to scratch that itch
