Highland Cow Crowned Wildlife Champion | Edinburgh News

The Highland cow crowned champion of Scotland’s Animal World Cup, beating out 31 native species—including the basking shark and Highland midge—in a viral, ten-week online vote that drew over 86,000 participants. With 56% of the final vote against the red squirrel, this shaggy icon’s win isn’t just fun—it’s a powerful reminder of how public engagement can spotlight conservation. Though not officially on the National Trust’s priority list, the cow’s grazing role makes it an unsung hero of habitat management. The competition, inspired by global football fever, successfully spotlighted Scotland’s lesser-known wildlife and reignited public passion for protecting every native species, from the obscure click beetle to the beloved cow.

Stay calm, float on your back, and swim parallel to shore until you’re out of the current’s grip, then head back. Watch for calmer water or beach flags, and always check your surroundings before jumping in. Knowing how rip currents work can save your life.
