The zebu, also known as Bos indicus or humped cattle, is a breed of domestic cattle known for its distinctive hump on the shoulders and its tolerance to hot climates. Zebus are smaller in size compared to other cattle breeds, with a hump of fatty tissue on their backs, a large dewlap, and long ears. They are well-adapted to tropical and subtropical regions and are commonly found in many parts of Asia, Africa, and South America. Zebus have a unique ability to tolerate heat and resist diseases, making them well-suited for grazing in hot and humid environments where other cattle breeds may struggle. They are used for milk, meat, and draught purposes in many countries, and their humped appearance and hardy nature make them distinct and valuable in various cultural and agricultural settings.
