As for Ben vs the drone. I used to see this kind of horn action a lot when there were wild longhorns loose around my property. I find it particularly interesting that Ben instinctively knows how to use his horns without being taught by a herd. Among other uses, their horns allow them to attain a stature beyond the compactness of their bodies to serve as a warning. They are not used as weapons - but instead they are used in a species specific manner to push (not poke) and to hold or deflect an attack. They are frequently used to hold their heads together preventing them from slipping off during a head to head trial of strength - the means by which they establish their place in the herd. (I established my place with Ben
a long time ago.) Horned cattle also exhibit quite specific grooming behavior - using them to scratch their backs or using the tip of another cow to scratch and clean their own eyes. Each animal is acutely aware of the size and form of its horns and where they end. Benita took it to the next level by using her horns to scrape the fruit off of prickly pear cactus, making them easier to eat without getting a nose full of spikes. 64,76,45,0,C
