Back-scratching bovine leads scientists to reassess intelligence of cows

This article from The Guardian explores how an Austrian cow named Veronika has led scientists to reassess the intelligence of cattle. Veronika has been observed using tools in ways previously only seen in humans and chimpanzees, such as using a broom to scratch her back and adjusting it to scratch more delicate areas. This discovery challenges the common perception of cattle intelligence and suggests that cows may be more innovative and intelligent than previously thought.
