A Young Watusi With Mother

Watusi are native to Africa and, for over 6000 years, have played a pivotal role in the lives of various African tribes.

The animals’ large horns are honeycombed with blood vessels, and are used to thermo-regulate in hot temperatures. Blood moving through the horns is cooled by moving air, and then flows back into the body and lowers the animal’s body temperature.
