   I think I met this cow on my recent trip to Jaisalmer. They seem to like eating cardboard boxes.

     Cardboard did seem to be their snack of choice. I guess that makes a guard cow quite a bit cheaper to take care of than a guard dog.

   I agree, the cow will scare the thieves away. Mind you, to shoo the cow away all you need to do is to throw little bit of grass and you’re done.

     That’s good to know for anyone traveling to India, although finding grass in Jaisalmer might prove a little difficult.

       Daniel, you can get grass but perhaps at a hefty price. Use hay or some other cow food.

         I was only joking–I actually saw quite a bit of grass in the Thar desert. Besides, as Chubby Chatterbox mentioned above, the cows really seem to enjoy eating cardboard…

   I think I have a photo of that same cow. My photo is definitely taken in Jaisalmer…what do you think? http://www.rovingvails.com/blog/2011/12/31/things-that-make-me-happy-holy-cow-happy-new-year/

     You’re right, they look very similar…not quite the same, but there’s a good chance they’re related…
