Cattle

Ruminant stomach

A ruminant stomach is a multi-chambered stomach of animals classified as ruminants, located on the left side of the abdominal cavity (from the diaphragm to the gullet of the pelvic cavity), consisting mostly of four chambers: the rumen (rumen), the cap (reticulum), the lunula (omasum), which forms the so-called forestomach (proventriculus) and the digesta (abomasum), or stomach proper. 1)

Texas Longhorn

The Texas Longhorn, a breed of cattle that is a symbol of Texas, is known for its horns with a large spread that can reach up to two meters. These cattle are often found on pastures in Texas due to their interesting coloration and history associated with the “wild west.” 2)

Watussi-Ankole

The Watussi-Ankole is a breed of domestic cattle raised in East Africa. It is mainly a dairy breed, and blood is also obtained from it. The value of the cattle increases with the size of its horns. 3)

Jallikattu

Still known from mural depictions, the jallikattu looks like a combination of rodeo and the Basque fiesta of San Fermin, where men try to hold on to or knock down a zebu bull by holding it only by its characteristic hump. This tradition, popular among Tamils in southern India, has been banned because of its cruelty. 4)

Apis the Egyptian deity

Apis, the Egyptian deity, was depicted as a bull. Apis was the son of Hathor. Since Hathor was the symbolic mother of the pharaohs, the bull Apis was often a symbol of the pharaoh. 5)
