Toddler suckles milk straight from the cow

From The Daily Mail:

A toddler has been suckling milk directly from a cow ever since his mother went away to find work when a storm destroyed the family home.

Tha Sophat's grandfather revealed the 18-month-old had been feeding himself this way since July when his parents left Cambodia for Thailand.

After he stopped breast-feeding from his mother, the boy became ill, said the 46-year-old grandfather with whom the youngster is staying.

The boy watched a calf nurse from its mother, and began to do the same thing, feeding direcly from the cow each day, Um Oeung added.

When the grandfather pulled him away, the boy cried, so he let him continue, he said.
