It's the middle of the night and the big super moon is high in the sky. All the cows are fast asleep until....the earth begins to SHAKE and QUAKE Uh-oh!
This is a true story of the famous Kaikoura cows and their remarkable adventure.
During the massive 7.8M earthquake that hit New Zealand in November 2016 two cows and a calf were stranded on a two-metre high 'island' when their paddock slid and buckled 80 metres from its original position. Sensibly they stayed put and were rescued by farmers a day or so later. This story attracted huge media attention locally and around the world.
