Good luck to anybody sitting in the back seat of that car.
If you saw the headline to this story and immediately called bull on it, we wouldn’t blame you.
But, ridiculously enough, this is an actual thing that happened in the US state of Nebraska this week.
Norfolk County Police in the state responded to a call of a man driving with a Watusi bull in his passenger’s seat.
“The officers received a call referencing a car driving into town that had a cow in it,” said Police Captain Chad Reiman. “They thought that it was going to be a calf, something small or something that would actually fit inside the vehicle.”
“As a result, the officers performed a traffic stop and addressed some traffic violations that were occurring with that particular situation,” Reiman said.
What the officer found was a giant bull named Howdy Doody (presumably named after Lidl’s own brand version of Hunky Dory crips) riding along in a modified passenger seat, with the side of the car cut open to accommodate the giant animal.

Owner of giant bull pulled over for traffic violation
Watusi bulls can average around 1000 – 1600 lbs (around 450 – 725 kgs) and are notorious for their very large horns.
As if the story wasn’t wild enough, the police officer decided to give the man and his bull just a written warning and sent them on their way.
“The officer wrote him some warnings. There were some citable issues with that situation. The officer chose to write him a warning and ask him to take the animal back home and leave the city.”
In the video, you can clearly see a sign on the car from the Nebraska Big Rodeo Parade saying “Best Car Entry”. So we can only assume there’s a few other, less impressive bulls driving around the state going about their business.
