The most interesting part of this video for me was realizing that there are slits near the bull's eyes that are opening/contracting with his bugles. I had to research to find out what they are but apparently they're slits that contain a gland which produces pheromones during rutting season.

[@Rijuo]

VivaLaPets I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that, it’s pretty neat.

[@snick3896]

You can definitely tell he’s in rut cause he knows something is off when he’s checking out the camera man and almost bolts but that other bull calling makes him forget. Then he starts peeing all over when he walks away lol 3:25 marking that spot

[@rmarquar1]

It was in the beginning of the rut. You are correct they get not quiet as smart when chasing cows and bugleing back and fourth .. just like teenage boys or something. Lol

[@NeoRipshaft]
