The Nashville Zoo's newest resident is causing quite a stir on social media.
Zoom in: Hamish the Scottish Highland calf had his zoo debut last week at the Historic Farm, where he has been zooming around at top speed.
- He's only about 7 weeks old, but his fluffy fur and irrepressible energy have already made him a social media star.
State of play: Highland cows are the oldest registered breed of cattle, according to the zoo. When they're fully grown, cows weigh 900-1,300 pounds and bulls weigh 1,500-2,000 pounds.
