'Miraculous' self-milking cow

A cow in the Indian state of Gujarat has been hailed as a "gift from god" for leaking milk every time it is fed.

A stream of milk is released from the cow's udders without any assistance from her owner.

Villager Manoj Bhargav said: "This cow named Radha delivers approximately eight litres of milk both in the morning and evening that is four litres each time.

"I think it's a miracle. I have never witnessed such a miracle ever."

Radha is also seen as a symbol of communal harmony, as her Muslim owner has given her a Hindu name.

In Hinduism the cow is often, but not universally, considered sacred, and is worshipped in most of India.
