This is actually a genetic mutation. Muscle tissue growth is regulated through hormonal pathways and when animals have this mutation, muscle tissue grows uninhibited. There's also a picture of a massive Doberman that looks muscular like this. I'm on mobile or I'd link it to ya. Either way that cow looks fucking badass.

[–]DavidJFarrar 19 points20 points ago

Yes this is correct. It is a Myostatin inhibition mutation. Myostatin is a growth hormone that regulates muscle growth. Without it you get organisms like this with unregulated growth. There are also examples of dogs and even human children with this condition. It is unhealthy however, as nutrient and caloric requirements are insane.

Nowhere does this say anything about instant gratification.

'Wendy the Whippet' is the dog you were probably thinking of:

[–]SquidAdhesive 2 points3 points ago

It's actually an entire breed specifically bred with this mutation. It's called a "Belgian Blue"

[–]redditcdnfanguy 3 points4 points ago

Also, that's definitely a bull, not a cow.

[–]9Freeski 1 point2 points ago

I know this. But I think people understand either way.

[–]HurdleBabe94 0 points1 point ago

That may have been the oddest informational video I've linked to off of reddit. Thank you for that.

[–]salty84 0 points1 point ago

It's a whippet, with the genetic mutation they are known as bully whippets. Not a Doberman.

There is a breeder of bully whippets on Vancouver island.

[–]bencowtastic 0 points1 point ago

actually, that is still incorrect. It is selective breeding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmkj5gq1cQU

[–]UnexpectedCharacter 18 points19 points ago

Looks like a Belgian Blue.

[–]fsckit 13 points14 points ago

[–]tahitiisnotineurope 0 points1 point ago

Norman is a bull, you were pulling on his dick.

[–]Cum5lut 2 points3 points ago

It's not blue.. But it IS a Belgian Blue!

[–]Thrashlol 2 points3 points ago

Interesting fact. It's a Belgian blue and my grandfather was the first person to bring those things to the United States.
