I was bit by a farm animal which was it?

Question

I got bit on a ranch by a large animal. I don't know if it was a horse or a cow. I thought it was a cow but now some people say "cows don't bite" Anyway i want to start a ranch in Wyoming but I don't want to raise whatever bit me. So I was thinking about penguins as I believe a market might exist selling them to zoos and for food to people and what not. I need to know what it was that bit me at the farm? Also do penguins bite? How much would it cost for a couple of penguin eggs so be shipped to Wyoming? I saw Africa has some penguins so I don't think it will be a problem in Wyoming. Does anyone know what they taste like? I need to order them soon so any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

You were bitten by a white-tipped reef shark, don't you see how often people get bitten by sharks in the news, not very often I tell ya? Now you can rest assured that you won't be raising sharks anytime soon. I don't think you should be forever paranoid of sharks however, they can be pretty affectionate if treated well. Maybe you should face your fear and go dive with sharks, don't forget to bring a bucket of blood and fish guts with you, they'll thank you for it, just wear thick gloves when hand-feeding them.

And cows don't bite, they just go 'moo' and sprout wings and fly away at night on their hunt for fresh blood.

Penguins don't bite, they just impale you with their beaks. But they don't have beaks.

You can get a couple of penguin eggs for around $5 each, freight costs should total up to $23 per egg, yes very expensive, but we all know how big and heavy penguin eggs are. You can also recognize a penguin egg by its green and purple veins you can see by using a UV lamp, just to make sure they are indeed penguin eggs and not elephant eggs.

And of course having penguins adjust to the climate in Wyoming will not be a problem, they are extremely adaptive creatures, especially beacause their fur is weather-proof. They also tend to hibernate when adapting to a certain weather condition by digging a hole in the ground and emerging a couple of weeks later looking completely different and coloful!

Penguin meat is incredibly similar in taste to penguin meat, not even the best tasters in the world would be able to tell the difference.

I have another suggestion however to help you get started with your new business. You should be able to start your ranch with one egg, as penguins reproduce through a process called binary fission, and you'll end up with a whole bunch of penguins in approximately 12 days from hatching. You will however need to sit on the egg for 14 days, keep it warm and dry.
Keep your penguins in a closed enclosure with the top sealed as they are able to fly very soon after they hatch.
Provide them with a varied diet of kangaroo meat, insects fruits and vegetables, as the are omnivorous, and whale blubber enhances the flavor. You can also sell the penguin fur, they make the most extravagant coats, not to mention the best tuxedos, that come from black and white or navy colored penguins.

It is a very profitable business, and a wonderful innovative concept!
Wishing you all the best.

Son, if you don't know the difference between a horse and a cow, you don't need to be starting a ranch of any kind. Penguins, Ostriches, Llamas or any other animal require you know something about the creature. They have some in Africa so you don't think they will have a problem in Wyoming? Llamas will spit at you, and kick, Ostriches will bite and kick hard enough to kill you and I don't know what the hell penguins do or what possible market there might be for them. I seriously, seriously doubt your penguin ranch will ever be a success. I reccomend sheep, they don't bite they reproduce nicely and frequently have twins and you can sell the wool as well as the animals for food. I do wish you luck and success.

Hold it!
Penguins DO have teeth. When was the last time you looked into a penguins mouth?........hmmmmmm?..........thought so. Yep, they have teeth. Two to be exact. ..both on the bottom.
So maybe you don't want to try the penguin farm just yet.
Can I entice you in delving into the possibility of being THE proud owner\operator of your very own....Purebred Oregon raised Nitecrawler Farm?
Yessireee Bob, they DO NOT bite! Oh, on the contrary. They are so easy to cuddle and affectionate to anyone and everyone that they are able to get close to.
There is one heck of a good market for these wonders of the earth. Oh ya, they are great for problem soil...or non-problem soil. Birds love 'em. Fish are crazy about 'em.
And trust me when I say that they will worship the ground you walk on.
Shipping is cheap.... the cost of a postage stamp and a zip-lock baggie with an envelope.( and the envelope also is the doubles as the food for these wonderful wormy wonders).
I have no idea about anything havin' to do with any waddlin' bird that don't fly and doesn't say, 'gobble, gobble'.
And as for what you were bit by?.....it was a snipe.
Scary aren't they?!

Answer 4

Contrary to what you were told cows do bite. Although it is not their first line of defense they would rather ram you with their noggin and stomp you into the mud. Having raised cows you learn that they usually do it to get your attention, horses on the other hand love to bite and will jump at the chance should you provoke them. And as for the penguins, I would go for something that could adapt to our climate easier, there is a great market for fainting goats right now.

Answer 5

It's probably not a good idea to start a ranch if you don't know the difference between a horse and a cow. But I will say this, I had a cow bite me when I was younger so I guess they do bite. Cows aren't as nice as they look!

Answer 6

You were bitten by a moose.

Penguins don't bite as they have no teeth.

Penguin egss can be shipped most anyplace for $25 each. The problem is packaging the eggs properly to prevent them from breaking in-flight. To do that properly, you really need a padded penguin egg transporter. Those aren't cheap, let me tell you!

Penguins taste like turtle, oddly.

Answer 7

If you plan on staring your own farm, I suggest that you start with farm animals. Not penguins. In case you didn't know, raising exotic animals is illegal unless you have a license for raising that animal. Also, you shouldn't just raise animals for their commercial value. One more thing, penguin populations are rapidly decreasing. You may not think mush of it, but if you eliminate animals that could throw the entire ecosystem out of balance, & ultimitally kill our selfs. So please don't rase any wild animal, unless you work for a zoo, or other wildlife oranization.

Answer 8

penguins bite and they arent easy to raise, they need to live in specific conditions. if you dont know what bit you , you shouldnt be trying to raise anything, penguins couldnt be hatched from eggs here and no one would allow you to buy any if they have any sense, no one eats penguin except orcas and seals, horses bite, cows dont

Answer 9

Ok the only comment that I have to make is for the guy above who says that penguins don't bite because they don't have teeth.... shall I prove this guy wrong ?....

I'm sure your grandma or grandfather would bite... they generally don't have teeth when they get elderly.... lol just because something doesn't have teeth doesnt mean it can't bite... hell birds don't have teeth either...

Answer 10

If you know that little about animals, you need to study up a lot before you ever try raising any.
