SEABULL
In the sea around the country has been found a bovine that occasionally goes on dry ground, often in classes to seduce cows and bulls. The Seabull is however unlike other bovines becuause it has a balloon before it's nostrils to breathe underwater. If you can get the animal to bleed or blow the balloon it is impossible for them to go down to the sea. When the animals are caught they are always a good addition to the livestock. The animals were often considered a property of the marbendill and in a book from 1787 it is said that the animals had planned no evil on the land. The earliest written records of the Seabull are several centuries old. It has been difficult to locate the sources of the animals in time, but one was first written in the 17th century, but it could be much older. This authorization is well known, and it is found in many versions. Jon Arnason published one of them in his collection which sounds like this: "Once rowed fishermen from Höfði in Höfðahverfi in the Látraströnd and dragged a female in with a hook and brought home with them to Höfði. She said that she lived in the sea and had been covering the kitchenchimney for her mother when they drew her in. She was always asking them to take her back out to sea and let her out on the same place as they took her. But they did not want to do that, she was well versed in all things. She spent a year in Höfði. When the year had passed, she was re-exported because they saw that she would never like it on land. She promised to send cows to them on the land. Then she was released into the sea at the same slip and she had been drawn up at. A little later came the twelve seacows from the sea and went to Höfða. They were a seagray in color."
The cows are usually seven to nine and usually people manage to capture only one cow and the bull. Seabull have gone on land all over the country but mainly in; Stafanesi á Reykjanesskaga, Kvíguvogi undir Stapanum í Grindavík, Vatnsleysuströnd (Kálfatjörn og Vogum), Gesthúsum á Álftanesi, Öxney á Breiðafirði, Valshamri á Skógarströnd, Barðaströnd (fjörunni milli Arnórsstaða og Brjánslækjar), Selárdal, Stað í Grunnavík í Jökulfjörðum, Nautsvík í Reykjarfirði í Strandasýslu, Króki á Skagaströnd, Felli og Keldnaseli í Sléttuhlíð, Grímsey fyrir Norðurlandi, Miðfjarðarnesi á Langanesströnd, Borgarfirði eystra (Breiðuvík), Kollaleiru í Reyðarfirði, Bakka í Norðfirði og Loftstöðum í Flóa.
Sækynið is bigger than the land breed, majestic in phase, with a long tail, ears are large and angular and the milk is better than the land species. Most often it is gray in color and turns his head to the sea in a booth. Offsprings of the seabull are great breaders and their feet are like other cattle besides the web between the cloves.
