A farmer in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, is puzzled about why one of her cows likes to drink its own milk, leaving none for her.

According to Guli Nisha, the cow developed a new skill in which it turns its head around and feed on its own milk.

"I do not know what caused the cow to drink its own milk, but I know I got no milk from it and had to spend some 30 yuan ($4.40) to feed it," she said.

A livestock official said that it was the first time someone reported such news and couldn't explain it.
