There's a few contenders out there. But which is the most wholesome?

Cow.

Intelligent, curious and docile.

One time I was watching one of those youtube videos of stupid drivers dash cam compilations. This one driver is driving in the countryside, and flying over these hills at 90mph. He flies over one hill, goes airborn, and crashes into a fence, and then hit a cow.

The cow goes down, and suddenly this OTHER cow comes running around from out of nowhere. I thought it was funny at the time, because the cow had this real aura about him like he was running up like "STEVE!!! STEVE ARE YOU OK???"

I was just imagining that's what the cow was doing, and it was funny to me.

Only for me to tell this same story years later, and get told "Actually, cows are very empathetic, and social creatures. That cow WAS running up to check on his friend. That's what was happening for real."

And I think that's kind of cool. A cow can be your friend.

Yeah. They are ridiculously social creatures and I absolutely saw them mourning a friend.

(But they can be assholes as well. Towards humans,but also between themselves. One of the funniest childhood memories I have is a cow intentionally toppling another cow (T-boned crash basically) and then shitting in its face. Comment of the carer: "yeah,she does that when her peers piss her off. She tried to do that with me as well,but missed and headbutted into a wall. See the missing brick? That was her")

Docile? Have you worked with real cows?

Cows can absolutely be assholes, even when raised in a species appropriate environment. I saw a cow intentionally ambush someone once. (And no, he definitely didn't mistreat it before)

And they are anything but docile when their calves are around - I literally treated people who nearly died (and know of various cases of people who died) because momma cows found they are a threat.

I know some large animal vets and they are having lots of "almost killed me" stories of cows - and have far more respect towards them compared to horses, bison, etc.

But don't get me wrong: I fucking love them - they are ridiculously nice animals, can be loving and caring, are VER Y social and astonishing creatures. But they are anything but docile.
