Ankole Bull, Burundi

Ankole Bull, Burundi
Long-horned Ankole cattle are native to Burundi. Although cattle are raised primarily for subsistence, the customary importance of owning large herds as a symbol of wealth and status (and keeping them rather than selling or butchering them) has caused overgrazing of available grazing lands.
