Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. Is there a fauna label for the Corriente? I'd like to see somebody hiking South Mountain get a photo into the database. It also might be time to update the Open Range Law a little bit?
Fair Use Excerpt:
... After the heifer was released into a corral in June, it struggled with ranch hands, broke down a fence and ran off toward the South Mountain preserve.
It has been running ever since, becoming the talk of bemused Ahwatukee Foothills residents... "It just jumped over the fence...I don't know how it is surviving out there."
Apparently, the young female cow is surviving pretty well. Since late June, the shiny black bovine with large horns has been spotted munching grass and sipping from fountains in Ahwatukee Foothills, lounging under trees in South Mountain Park and drinking from a stream near a small south Phoenix resort...
... Arizona's Open Range Law, crafted to protect the state's cattle industry, makes it illegal for anyone to simply go out and capture or otherwise harm a cow.

My day is complete, I've learned the name and history of those bovines we see out in the middle of nowhere.
