In this video, the Mythbusters team puts one of the world’s most popular similes to the test. But just how does a bull in a china shop act? Are bulls really as boisterous and clumsy as we’d all like to believe?

To test the myth, the team set up their own china shop inside a bull pen. The plan seemed foolproof, and I was sure we’d see plenty of smashed plates and china carnage. Funnily enough, that’s not what happened at all.

Did the Mythbusters team find some especially considerate bulls, or are bulls a lot more careful than we gave them credit for? You decide!
