Useful facts about zebus

Zebus are domestic cattle recognized by the hump over their shoulders and the loose skin beneath the neck. They are well adapted to warm climates, and their ability to tolerate heat has made them important livestock in many tropical regions.

Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Why does a zebu have a hump?
The hump is made mainly of muscle and connective tissue rather than being a water tank. Its size and shape vary among breeds and between individual animals.
How does a zebu handle hot weather?
Zebus generally cope with heat better than many cattle breeds from cooler climates. Loose skin, a short coat, and active sweat glands help the body release heat.
What do zebus eat?
Like other cattle, zebus are herbivores that feed mainly on grasses and other plant material. Their multi-chambered stomach allows them to digest tough vegetation through rumination.
