I can't be the only underperson who thought of large Australian sheep (in outer space) when I saw this.

Jason Bittel / Washington Post:

Meet Knickers, the giant cow that is neither a cow nor a giant  —  This week, a Holstein by the name of Knickers captured the heart of the Internet by standing horns and shoulders above a herd of cattle on a farm in Australia.  —  And there's no arguing that the lad is large.

The NYT: "All the News That's Fit to Print."

Daniel Victor / New York Times:   Wow, That Steer Is Really Big

Bijan Stephen / The Verge:   Knickers, the extremely large cow, isn't actually a cow

Aja Romano / Vox:   That really big cow is a steer named Knickers. Long may he meme.

Chicago Sun-Times:   Knickers the steer is too beefy to become a burger

Amanda Luz Henning Santiago / Mashable:   The big cow has inspired a lot of hope and joy

Doug Mataconis / Outside the Beltway:   I For One Welcome Our Giant Australian Bovine Overlords
