Taking our current fascination with bovines to another level altogether, Rajasthan’s Education Minister Vasudev Devnani has said that the cow is the only creature to inhale and exhale oxygen.
According to a report by The Indian Express, Devnani was at an event at the Hingonia Goshala on Saturday when he elaborated on the benefits of having a bovine friend around.
“Gai ekmatra prani hai jo oxygen grahan karta hai, aur oxygen his chodta hai (The cow is the only animal that takes in oxygen and also releases oxygen),” he was quoted as saying. He then reportedly went on to say how the scientific importance of the cow was understated and that his message reaches the people.
