Animals might not be able to understand every word that we say, but they are incredibly observant of their surroundings, and incredibly aware of what’s happening around them.
After growing up in a dairy farm, Clarabelle the cow watched as mother cows had their babies torn away from them soon after giving birth, and even had her own babies taken so that her milk could be collected, rather than be used to feed her young.
When Clarabelle’s milk supply eventually dwindled, the farm saw her as worthless and planned to kill her, but luckily a farm sanctuary called Edgar’s Mission in Australia rescued her before it was too late.
After arriving at the sanctuary, volunteers realized she was pregnant yet again. Once Clarabelle’s due date was less than a week away, however, the team noticed a difference in her behavior as she was keeping a distance from everyone.
Clarabelle then mysteriously disappeared, but when she returned, she was no longer pregnant yet had no calf by her side.
After searching the grounds for hours, the volunteers finally found baby Valentine in a tall patch of grass and realized Clarabelle was hiding her so she wouldn’t be taken away.
While Clarabelle doesn’t realize she no longer has to worry about being separated from her baby since she’s been saved from the dairy farm, she still continues to hide Valentine every night to be sure her baby is safe.
Watch the entire video below to see the incredible way this mother cow is trying to keep her baby safe.
