About the Watusi
The Ankole-Watusi is an ancient breed of East African cattle, known as the "cattle of kings." Their horns are among the largest of any animal, sometimes spanning eight feet from tip to tip.
Those horns are full of blood vessels and help the animal shed heat, an adaptation to African sun.
