Highland cow from Sally 4th Miniatures
I wanted to make the cow more orangey but was having trouble with it. Fortunately highland cattle come in a variety of colors, including brindle.
(I also felt the tail was too short so I extended it a bit.)

our name is Cow
and wen its daye,
or wen our Man
has lookd awaye,
and in the fence a hole wee gnaw,
wee gallop out.
wee flee the law.
never ever underestimate the capacity rural folks have for coming up with creative solutions
But if it's weight triggered on both ends, what does it actually stop?
Cows
But cows are heavy, surely they'd lift the gate
See those little slats? Cows recognize early on not to step on them or their legs go through.
If you ever seen one of these on a rural road thats why they are there. To keep cows in one area. They don't have the coordination to cross it. Sometimes you can just paint the lines on the road if cows are used to these cattle guards and they won't attempt to cross.
That gate up there is very heavy. A cow would have to step on the proper slats with all of its weight for it to open, once it moves it comes back down. 99% unlikely for a cow to get through it
I just learned that the Russian word for “ladybug” translates to “God’s Little Cow”

The Dip [Catalonian folklore]
Dips are monsters from Catalonian folklore. They are depicted as vampiric dogs with black fur and supposedly attack people and cattle at night, drinking their blood.
In the village of Pratdip, with which this vampire is heavily associated, the Dip is regarded as a guardian of sorts. It protects the village from harm and is also featured on the coat of arms of the town, which you can see in the second image. That is pretty much all the information I could find on this creature, as sources seem to be scarce.
I did find a lot of claims on the internet though, which I have not been able to verify with a decent source. One of these claims is that Saint Marina was responsible for the disappearance of the Dips. Another is that the Dips are creatures of the devil, and like many creatures associated with the devil in Catalonian folklore, they are supposedly lame in one leg.
Also, in the chapel of Saint Marina, there used to be a statue of the saint with four Dips at the base (indicating the victory of God over the creatures of the devil) but it apparently went missing during the Spanish civil war.
