In our last post about Wackiest sports with animals, we listed down five animal sports that not many people had heard of. Though animals have always been used as a source of entertainment for us, some of these sports can be entertaining for the animals as well. Some of these sports have been practiced for a long time and have had a cultural influence. We have tried to list 5 more sports with animals which we thought were wacky enough to be included in our last list.
Cow Fighting
A fight of about forty minutes, cow fight actually tests the dominance of a cow. It’s basically a fight of pushing each other using their horns. While a bull fight involves bulls and humans, cow fighting is all about cows.
Started in 1920’s, it’s a traditional Swiss event which takes place every year and is called “combats de reines” which means”queen fights”.
linkElephant Polo
Played in South Asian countries India, Thailand, Neapl and Srilanka, Elephant Polo is a variant of polo while riding elephants. The game had originally started in India but the modern version started in Nepal. It’s played with the same standard polo ball and a long cane (or stick) about six to nine feet in length and has a polo mallet head.
