8 cows (They all have 2 legs)
To find the answer that there are five more crows than cows in the farmer's field you need to know how many animal legs are in the field. The complete problem is, "there is a total of 52 legs of all of the animals. How many cows and how many crows are in the field?"
42.
With an animal like a sloth, it's a toss-up whether you think of it as having two arms and two legs, or four legs, or simply as four limbs.

red velvet ants also known as killer cows have 6 legs

94 three legged cows and 25 chickens.
Do-it-in-your-head method: If all animals were chickens there would be 96 legs. There are 26 extra legs, each on a cow, so there are 26 cows and therefore 22 chickens.
If all animals were horses there would be 4 x 59 ie 236 legs. There is a shortage of 25 legs so there are 25 cows (and 34 horses).
Do-it-in-your-head method: If all animals were chickens there would be 90 legs. There are 20 extra legs, each on a cow, so there are 20 cows and therefore 25 chickens.
If all cows were four-legged there would be a total of 4 x 131 ie 524 legs. There are therefore 36 missing legs so there are 95 horses. (4 x 95 + 3 x 36 = 380 + 108 = 488 legs)
There would be a total of 2006 legs in the pasture. There are 500 cows with four legs each which is 2000. The horse has four legs and the farmer has two legs. This makes a total of 2006 legs.
51 horses of which there are 3 cows with 2 heads and three legs or since there are no 3 legged cows there are 60 horses
7 cows and 11 chickens. Cows have 4 legs. Chickens have 2 legs. (4 legs)(7 cows) + (2 legs)(11 chickens) = 50 legs. 7 cow heads = 11 chicken heads = 18 heads.

Do-it-in-your-head method: If all animals were horses there would be 4 x 46 ie 184 legs. There is a shortage of 31 legs which means there are 31 cows (and 15 horses). 31 x 3 = 93, 15 x 4 = 60 total 153. Shazam!
