Two self-professed vampires from Texas have set up their own Dracula-inspired community.

Daley Catherine and Logan South who insist they are the real deal avoid sunlight and spend their lives awake in the dark after waking up after 3 p.m.

Daley told the Daily Star: "I go to bed around 7 or 8 a.m. and wake up around 3 or 4.

"I usually check social media and emails first while having breakfast, then go feed and spend time with wolfdogs as the sun sets.

"Lunch is around 8 or 9 p.m. with dinner anywhere between midnight and 3 a.m."

According to Daley, there are an estimated 50,000 vampires in America. Her group of 60 meet for blood and cheese once a month.

She added: "Being a vampire is something one is born with and awakens to in life.

"While we do sometimes enjoy partaking in a vampire lifestyle, it is not the same thing as being a real vampire."

Alena who is a mother of two added she now finds pleasure in wearing her hair down as she often styles it in a bun for convenience when looking after her daughters.

University of Missouri students were stunned when a large dairy cow appeared on campus to make a cameo in a graduation photo shoot.

The Columbia Missourian reported that senior animal sciences major Massimo Montalbano brought the three-year-old animal, named Amelia, to join his commencement photo shoot.

Massimo worked with the cattle during his undergraduate studies at the University's Foremost Dairy Research Centre.

He told the Missourian: "I've worked at the dairy basically all throughout college. I bonded with all of the (the cows), and she's one of my favourites. I just gave her a bath this morning."

He initially presented the idea to Jim Spain - the vice for undergraduate studies - who referred him to the operations department, who in turn approved the request.
