Ankole-Watusi
African giant with majestic horns
The Watusi cattle are the largest representatives of their species. With impressive horns that can exceed two meters in diameter, they have adapted to life on the savanna, demonstrating strength and endurance in extreme conditions.
Their enormous horns also function as a thermoregulation system. Blood vessels within the horns help lower body temperature during hot days, enabling them to survive in the harsh conditions of Africa.
