Ankole cattle in Epulu

Category: Epulu, Videos | Date: Apr 29 2007 | By: admin

It is nice to observe the passage of Ankole cattle through the Reserve. People start singing. In the forest region cattle do not have enough food, and there are many parasites that cause their death. They always come from Bunia to Mambasa to Bafwasende to Kisangani… a long long way. People walk with the cattle, and it is not easy because the guardians must walk nightly with them to protect them against mosquitos.

This video was given to me by WildlifeDirect and I want to share. Ankole cattle are very old and go back thousands of years. They are known to all people for their beautiful horns.
