Ankole Cattle - Kilimanjaro Safari - Disney's Animal Kingdom - Lake Buena Vista, Florida

The Ankole (or African Longhorn) is a breed or group of breeds of African cattle, belonging to the broad Sanga cattle grouping of African breeds. It was probably introduced to Uganda between five and seven hundred years ago by nomadic pastoralists from more northerly parts of the continent. It is distributed in much of eastern and central Africa, particularly in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and parts of Tanzania. They are characterized by long, thick horns, which can grow up to 6 feet long.

-- Fun Facts --
‧ In Uganda, the Nkole tribe's Sanga variety of these cattle is known as ankole. In Rwanda and Burundi, the Tutsi tribe's Sanga variety is called the watusi. The Rwanda common strain of watusi is called inkuku. The giant-horned strain, owned by the Tutsi kings and chiefs, is called the inyambo, though some current tribal reports claim that this type is now extinct.
‧ Ankole have strong herding and protection instincts. Adults bed down in a circle facing out with calves in the center.
‧ They were first domesticated in parts of Africa such as Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya for thousands of years. These native cattle are adapted to survive several months when food and water are scarce.
‧ In Africa, a few tribes consider ankole to be sacred animals.
‧ Some tribes mix the milk and blood of the Ankole to produce a high protein drink.
‧ Ankole were first introduced to the United States in the 1960s from a small seed stock in European zoos. Exportation of ankole from Africa was banned in the 1930s. Today, less than 700 purebred ankoles are registered in the U.S.
‧ Ankole-Watusi meat has very little fat and lower cholesterol than other commercial beef.
‧ Ankole cattle have tremendous jumping ability for their large size.
‧ They may occasionally fall prey to lions and leopards.
