Um Oeung says 20-month-old Tha Sophat started suckling the cow in July after he saw a calf do the same.

Tha Sophat suckles milk from a cow in Nokor Pheas village, 195 miles from the Cambodian capital. He began suckling directly from a cow as part of his daily meals since his parents left to work in Thailand

Um Oeung told The Associated Press he pulled the boy away at first. He relented after his grandson protested loudly and the boy has suckled the cow's milk once or twice a day since then.

The boy watched a calf nurse from its mother, and began to do the same thing, feeding direcly from the cow each day, his grandfather said
