Past End of Map Cow?

[Jithrandix 0]

So I was following the railroad once when I was playing DayZ, and i got to a place with a bunch of hills and nothing else. No zombies, grass, buildings, anything. But I found what looked like a cardboard cutout of a cow. It was 2d and looked like it was made out of wood. Is that meant to be there?

Screenshot?...

yes.

No, return my pet cow to me immediately.

Well, technically yes and no. There's no simple explanation.

It's a decoy, used by cow hunters.

Actually, now that I think about it, it may have been a 3d cow, just not moving at all or reacting to anything.

Animals spawn beyond the map and in debug plains, so yes, it was probably a 3d cow not moving.

DayZ is weird... Some things may appeal to your eye 200 M away due to its graphics.

I once followed a cow in debug plains hoping it would lead me to a town, it didn't. I eventually died of starvation.
