Zebus, also known as humped cattle, are domesticated cattle originating in India. These cattle have a distinctive hump above their shoulder blades and are well-suited for hot, dry climates. There are several synonyms for zebus including Brahman, Nelore, Gir, and Ongole. Brahman cattle are primarily found in the southern United States and are known for their resilience to hot, humid weather conditions. Nelore cattle, also known as Nellore, are native to India and are known for their high resistance to diseases and parasites. Gir cattle are from the Gujarat state of India and are highly valued for their milk production. Ongole cattle are native to Andhra Pradesh, India and are known for their strength and endurance. All of these cattle breeds are examples of the various types of zebs or cattle around the world and have unique traits that make them well-suited to specific regions and uses.
