The Ankole is a breed or group of breeds of African cattle. One of its distinguished characteristics is its enormous, curved, thick horns which can grow up to 1.8 m (6 ft.) long. Their coat coloration are rusty red, but fawn, black or pied coloration are not uncommon. These cattle mainly feed on grass found in the vast lands and they are adapted to survive several months when food and water are scarce. The Ankole is regarded as sacred due to the significance it holds within the cattle breeders' families. It is distributed in much of eastern and central Africa - Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and parts of Tanzania. #rwandanbeauty #rwanda #cattleranch #cattlefarm #cattlemen #ankolecattle #hornsup #congo #uganda🇺🇬 (at Catalina Foothills, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN-LCw1rlxlYmhYTX5xbBakBnnGCesORvuVrwQ0/?igshid=1u6ptgv8zkibg
