Zebu

A zebu (Bos taurus indicus), sometimes known as indicine cattle or humped
cattle, is a species or subspecies of domestic cattle originating in the
Indian sub-continent. Zebu are characterised by a fatty hump on their
shoulders, a large dewlap, and sometimes drooping ears. They are well adapted
to withstanding high temperatures, and are farmed throughout the tropical
countries, both as pure zebu and as hybrids with taurine cattle, the other
main type of domestic cattle. Zebu are used as draught and riding animals,
dairy cattle, and beef cattle, as well as for byproducts such as hides and
dung for fuel and manure. In 1999, researchers at Texas A&M University
successfully cloned a zebu. Zebu cattle are thought to be derived from Indian
aurochs, sometimes regarded as a subspecies, B. p. namadicus. Wild Asian
aurochs disappeared during the time of the Indus Valley Civilisation from its
range in the Indus River basin and other parts of the South Asian region
possibly due to interbreeding with domestic zebu and resultant fragmentation
of wild populations due to loss of habitat.
