I'd be impressed if it wasn't an obvious fake

Just look at the cows feet and look to the right on the guy.

There's something weird about the lighting, but yes, there is a shadow there. According to where it looks like the shadow falls, though, it must be close to sundown -- but the color of the sky is wrong for that. Or maybe not. Looks like there's a little tinge of red decay in there, but very, very slight.

Maybe you people are trying too hard to imagine this as a fake because it's a damn big bullock and the picture is on a digital medium.

Considering the World Record sized bullock was bigger than this, I think I'll trust Ananova here.

The mans stance is a bit out of proportion tho. The shadowing falls behind the cow and onto the man, who looks smaller then he really is due to distance.

I think it is a fake.

By the way, do my eyes play me a joke, or did the guy wear a Starfleet uniform?

I looked at it again and i think that its not a fake,but looking carefuly you notice the sun is going down and the man is further back wich gives the false impression that the cow is bigger.

the case has been solved "optical illusion" "DING" :P

The eyes are too big.

For the cow to actualy be as big as it's made to appear, they eyes should be a lot smaller in it's head.

Guinness say the record for the biggest bovine is held by a Holstein Durham Cross named Mount Katahein, from Maine, in the US. It stood at six foot two inches and was 13ft around its girth.
If there was a cow that big, I can believe the picture.
