A farmer who couldn't work out who kept turning on the light in his barn was shocked to discover the culprit was his buffalo.Mo Zhaoguang, from Nandan, in China's Hubei province, said his family had repeatedly found the barn light on over the last five years.
"My wife and I quarrelled many times, each accusing the other of having a bad memory," he told the Wuhan Evening Post.
Eventually Mo slept in the barn overnight to identify the culprit - and found his buffalo was pulling the cord switch with its teeth.
He claims it turns on the light when it is hungry or thirsty - and then turns it off again after eating or drinking to go to sleep.
"It turns the light on to look for food or water - and it also even turns it on and off to get our attention if its trough is empty," he added.
"I told this to villagers but none of them believed me. One man even bet me 10 Yuan every time the buffalo turned on the light, and that night I earned 50 Yuan as the buffalo turned the light on and off five times."
Mo's buffalo has now appeared on Chinese television and people have been visiting from far and wide to see its party trick for themselves.
