In a 2012 issue of Detective Comics, a Cow was rescued from a slaughterhouse by Batman and Robin in order to test her for diseases that she may have been infected with by a group of criminals.

Louis XVI of France and his wife Marie Antoinette were married for over seven years before they properly "consummated" their marriage.

They were married at a young age, when Louis was 15 and Marie Antoinette was 14. They basically did not know what to do. It was Marie Antoinette's brother, Emperor Joseph II, who finally had a serious discussion with them - which led to them finally consummating their marriage.
