Info from Licensor: "This is the unbelievable moment that a group of Chinese residents watched a cow appear to “pay” a highway toll with its face, leaving toll staff visibly confused and amused. The video captured a surreal scene at a highway toll station when a truck carrying cattle pulled up to the booth. As the vehicle stopped, one cow leaned its head out toward the payment window. The animal’s face moved close to the scanner area, creating the illusion that it was attempting facial recognition payment. The toll collector hesitated and looked around in disbelief as the cow’s nose and eyes filled the frame. The cow shifted its head forward and back, while people nearby laughed and reacted to the unexpected “cow face payment” moment. The video ended with the cow still sitting on the vehicle as toll staff signaled the driver to proceed."
