Well, SOMEONE had to volunteer to see if it really wasn't a steer.

Horses will often run along side me when I ride. Sometimes cattle will do it too, other times they stampede the other direction. Sheep just get confused and run every which way, although I did end up chasing a sheep in Wales for a while. The alpacas and llamas just look, like running would be beneath their dignity.

I've had birds do the broken wing thing where they run, hop, and half-fly in front of me to lead me away from their nest.

I had a coyote run along side me in the mountains many years ago, and more recently I have had kanagroo hop along beside me.

ok so Machka wins the award for most interesting critters (although if you were a fellow, I'd be trying to come up with a bad joke about the Welsh sheep)
*my sister lives in Wales, and yes, there are loads of them arent there? perhaps not as much as in Kiwiland but close)
cheers
