Waiting till the cows come home has taken on literal meaning in Germany - except, it's just one heifer that has the nation on the lookout.
In May, a bovine named Yvonne escaped from a farm in Bavaria, and she's been winning a game of hide-and-seek ever since, according to the Associated Press.
The brown dairy cow has become a bit of an enigma; locals have reported sightings, searchers unsuccessfully used food to tempt her into the open, and even a thermal camera attached to a helicopter turned up no results.
Even so, it wasn't until cops almost ran over the bovine that she earned her 15 minutes of fame. The run-in made the cops label the animal a public hazard and ordered anyone who spotted her to shoot immediately.
Animal rights activists jumped to Yvonne's defense, and as of last Friday some 23,000 people had liked a Facebook page calling for her safety.
The shooting order has since been revoked, and an animal sanctuary bought the cow from her original owners and is leading the rescue effort.
That's not the only odd German animal news lately.
In Austria earlier this month, a German couple found themselves at the mercy of a Billy goat who wouldn't quit attacking them, according to the Associated Press.
The animal clearly wasn't kidding around: It butted Stefan Prill and his wife, Anja Buder, for more than three hours before Prill grabbed it by the horns to stay safe and headed down the mountain toward the Austrian town of Ausservillgraten.
There were no major injuries once the goat tuckered himself out, though the animal's owner agreed to pay for the torn trousers.
Perhaps that Billy goat would have calmed down had he met up with an 84-year-old Brandenburg woman accused of feeding her rabbit pot.
The woman said that the marijuana grew naturally outside of her home, and the rabbits started eating it all on their own. The plants grew back so quickly that the woman deemed them excellent food, according to The Local.
Brandenburg officials said her explanation sounded reasonable, but they cut down the plants nonetheless.
