One of the first things you notice when patrolling in Mosul is the number of apparently random animals there are roaming the streets. Except for the cats and dogs, most of them belong to someone, but I'm fairly confident that even the locals don't keep track and just make it up depending on what day of the week it is. Anyway, here's a small sample of what I've come across so far...
Conducting a raid on a courtyard late at night in attempts to find a weapons cache. I was searching around with my light and found this group of sheep in the corner. You may need to turn up the brightness on your computer to see them
I was interrogating a local and noticed that one of my soldiers was chasing this rooster around. The owner told me that he is the local champion of cock fights, and is actively searching for a female hen to mate with him.
The "Cow-borne-IED"...sometimes when on patrol you have to make jokes like that, no matter how disturbing they are. This cow was wandering around a vary dangerous median...
