Description

Stunning Watusi skull, real bone.

The Watusi derives from central African cattle of the Ankole group of Sanga cattle breeds. Some of these were brought to Germany as zoo specimens in the early twentieth century, and from there spread to other European zoos. Eventually, some were imported to the United States, and in 1960 a herd was started in New York State by cross-breeding some of them with an unrelated Canadian bull.

The Watusi may be a number of different colors, but is usually red. The horns are unusually large and wide spread,  with the largest circumference found in any cattle breed. 

Horns at widest point = 35 inches

Tip of horns to bottom of skull = 44 inches

Skull length = 22 inches
