Cows spawn in groups of 4-12 individuals and proceed to roam aimlessly. Cows will jump up small inclines, and frequently cows may be seen bouncing up hillsides. This may lead to their demise, as cows don't pay attention to long falls and often plummet to their deaths. Like all other passive mobs, they move entirely randomly, and although it can appear that they are attracted to light, this is not the case. It is a common sight to see passive mobs clustered in lit areas at night, but this is only because that is the only place they can spawn, and they will ofter wander out into the dark. They will make no attempt to stay out of water, and may often be seen splashing about in oceans and lakes.
