The Watusi is the Tutsi tribe in Rwanda and Burundi's variety of Sanga cattle and is known for its large, distinctive horns. Traditionally those with the largest and longest horns belonged to the king and were considered sacred, with some individuals having horns that measure 3.7 m from tip to tip. The breed is often referred to as the “Cattle of Kings” and has typical Zebu characteristics, such as the pendulous dewlap and sheath, upturned horns, and a neck hump of variable size.
