A baby cow in Australia has become a viral sensation for the black and white patterns on its hide — which look uncannily like a smiley face.

Karen Morham, a stud breeder, says in the video, “Happy has been so popular. Swarmed by all the school kids that have come through. They’ve all wanted to see Happy. They’ve gone over there and he’s stood up for them and they can see his happy smiling face.”

Reuters report said the calf was sold for Farm World, an agricultural show by Lardner Park in Gippsland and it will act as a mascot for an agricultural event. “Happy has a lovely temperament and is a very active and attentive calf. He is feeding really well and seems well settled into his pen at Lardner Park. With approximately 40,000 to 50,000 patrons coming through the gates to see “Happy” this weekend, we know Happy will put a smile on everybody’s face,” Craig Debnam, Lardner Park’s chief executive officer was quoted as saying by Fox news.

Fox News report said that the calf was born on the Bellbrook Holsteins farm in Ripplebrook in West Gippsland, Australia on March 10.

The farm’s owner Barry Coster stumbled upon the pattern on the calf’s body during his usual morning walk and he sent a picture to his wife instantly. “We’ve seen some number sevens or love hearts on the head and a few strange markings, but we’ve never seen anything that resembles a smiley face before,” Barry Coster told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
