Not a happy couple by ludwigsdiana

Not a happy couple

as they both tried to outstare me and my camera. I see them so regularly that they should be used to me by now.
Are those horns real, what kind of animal?

What magnificent horns , - such a lovely couple!

@365projectorgchristine It's always in my tags Christine. Ankole cattle are originally from Uganda and yes the horns are real ;-)

I would not be happy if I had to balance that weight on my head all the time either
December 1st, 2023  
They do look rather grumpy
December 1st, 2023  
Ha! What a great shot of this grumpy couple. ...and those horns!!!

Perhaps they were just posing for you since you are so familiart to them! Fantastic photo for sure

I was curious about their horns so I searched for Ankole cattle on the Internet. I found this from the Oklahoma State University Web site about Ankole-Watusi cattle here in the U.S.: "Because they were developed in a climate where daily temperatures may range from 20 to 120 degrees F, Ankole-Watusi tolerate temperature and weather extremes well. The large horns act as radiators; blood circulating through the horn area is cooled and then returned to the main body. This allows excess body heat to be dispersed." The cattle here are descended from the African Ankole cattle herds.

Such impressive horns. Probably a bit fed up with carrying them around.

Horny little devils aren't they? 😆

Fabulous capture of this cranky couple! :)

I'd be unhappy too if I had to lug those huge horns around all day!!
December 1st, 2023  
Oh my... Those horns never cease to amaze.
December 1st, 2023  
I'd be very wary of horns that size!
December 1st, 2023  
Oh boy those horns

Beautiful image. Those horns are outstanding!

LOL! You'd think they'd have a constant headache carrying those big horns around. Great shot.

Crazy horns
December 1st, 2023  
They do have amazing horns!
December 1st, 2023  
That's one handsome, although not happy, couple! A beautiful shot, too, Diana, with their sunlit red-brown hides against all the greens! And yes, those horns! Fav

Wow, I like the giant pair of horns of the male.

Almost gives me a headache when I see them. Great capture.

@rontu @wakelys @robz @marlboromaam @rickster549 Apparently those horns are hollow and not heavy at all ;-)
December 2nd, 2023  
@kchuk Thanks for that Elyse. I googled that a few years ago when I started posting them, I should have included it ;-)
December 2nd, 2023  
How interesting - the wonders of nature!
December 2nd, 2023  
Craziness! The horns are oversized.
December 2nd, 2023  
wow! The one with the Big horns is giving you the Look!
December 2nd, 2023  
Wow. Those horns! They look as if they've been stuck on. What a weight to have to carry around on your head!!! Great shot.

Great capture but what a look
