FAQs
Asking for a buddy… What's a "coo"?
Oh, my sweet Sassenach Friends. It's Scottish for "cow," of course. Hay...er, Hey, since we're on the topic, did you know highland coos are the oldest registered cattle breed in the world?
How do you support global Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs)?
Another great question and one I was asked when I was interviewing for the mascot position! I'm an udder brilliant sustainability icon for a coo-liedoscoope of reasons, if I do say so myself. Here are just a few:
Together with WorldKind, I champion a "world-kind" approach and always promote a harmonious balance between nature and human development!

- By entertaining global travelers with coo tricks and creating moments of joy and connection, I support education and development.
- Coos have the transformative power of rehabilitating desolate lands. By feasting on thistles and nettles, often overlooked by other animals, we contribute to turning barren spaces into thriving ecosystems!
- Coo poop is a remarkable fertilizer and underlines the commitment to responsible land management and agricultural practices, supporting goals related to life on land and responsible consumption.

Your hair is always in your eyes! Why don't you style a mohawk or pigtails so you can see better?
Excellent question! While a mohawk and pigtails are quite fashion forward (and I have ocassionally indulged) it's actually quite unnecessary thanks to coo-eyeball mechanics.
You see (pun intended), coos have panoramic vision, with a wide field of view of approximately 330 degrees! This wide peripheral vision helps us see from various angles, contributing to our overall awareness of our surroundings... Plus, the extra shag helps protect our eyes from wind, rain, and snow. I agree - it is super coo...ool!

What are your favorite treats?
I fancy carrots, apples, pumpkins, and cabbage leaves.
Are all Scottish Highland Coos gingers?
Nope, not at all. Our cozy coats come in a moo-tiful array of shades – black, brown, yellow, white, grey, tan, and, believe it or not, even white! We're clearly the stylish trendsetters of the Highland pastures.
What are your favorite jokes?
Ah, I've got two pasture favorites in my grazing menu.
