A self-tipped or resting cow.

Cow tipping, is theoretically performed whereby participants sneak up on an upright, sleeping cow and push it over for amusement. There are factors which make the possibility unlikely; one such factor being that cows (as with most herd-prey animals) only take irregular naps throughout the day. Cow Tipping is a myth, cows sleep lying down.

A variety of calculations have been applied to the physics of cow tipping, sometimes with humorous intention.
