Baby Highland Cow's Curiosity Over Human Mom Is Melting Hearts Everywhere – Yahoo
If you ever needed proof that baby animals feel big feelings, look no further than a recent TikTok that has the entire internet collectively squealing. The video features a fuzzy, cinnamon-colored baby Highland cow named Gus, who has decided he is absolutely in love with his human. The caption reads:
“Gus! This little guy is quickly stealing my heart. From the day he was born he's wanted to walk up to me. But Mom keeps yelling at him to stay close. She will relax in a few weeks.”And honestly? That’s the story of childhood in one sentence.
In the clip, Gus slowly inches closer to the camera—eyes bright, ears perked, and hair fluffier than a designer throw pillow. He looks like he’s trying to be sneaky, except he is the least subtle creature on earth. Meanwhile, Mom (a fully grown Highland cow with the don’t-test-me energy of every mom ever) stands in the background giving the look that says:
This moment hits especially close for me because I grew up on a farm in Northern New Mexico—surrounded by cows, goats, chickens that thought they owned the place, and barn cats who absolutely did. I’ve seen my share of protective mamas and bold babies who think rules are optional. Farm life is full of hilarious little negotiations like this: the baby who wants adventure, the mom who wants order, and the human who is just trying not to get yelled at by a 1,200-pound animal.
Baby Highland cows in particular have this unbelievably soft, teddy-bear look—but don’t let that fool you. They’re smart, curious, and deeply attached to their social circles. Gus isn’t just being cute—he’s trying to make a connection. And for animals, that is everything.
