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.
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
