Piece #30 of 100

Mundari cattle camp at sunset (South Sudan). The Mundari are cattle herders who live in symbiosis with their Ankole Watusi cattle. Ankole-Watusi, also known as Ankole Longhorn, or “Cattle of Kings” is a up to 730Kg (1,600 lbs) landrace breed of cattle originally native to Africa with distinctive horns that can reach up to 2,5m (8 ft) tall. During the day the cattle disperse from the banks of the White Nile into the long grasses of the alluvial floodplain. They return at dusk instinctively before the sunset.
