Zebu

Zebu

Zebu share many similarities with Western cattle. Both feed primarily on grass, have slender legs and solid frames. The ears of the zebu are large as this allows a greater surface for heat loss. Zebu live in warm climates and must be able to radiate heat. The coat of the zebu also differs from that of Western cattle. Western cattle have woolly coats which inhibit heat loss, where as zebu have finer coats, keeping them cooler. MORE! [BM] {FW}
