SynopsisAn illustrated guide to the names of the long horned Ankole cows of the Mbarara District (formerly a part of the old Ankole Kingdom). The book is organised into sections on colour, pattern, horns, form and marks; and the names of the cattle are presented in two languages - English and Runyankore. Full colour plates are provided for all breeds documented. The book consists also of a dual-language glossary of terms associated with Ankole cows, a section on singular and collective names of cattle according to colour, and a picture dictionary; and contains much useful information on the significance of cattle to the culture of the Banyankore and other pastoral communities. The author is a zoologist and conservationist, particularly associated with the development of a community approach to the management of Lake Mburo National Park in the Mbarara district, where he spent several years living amongst the Bahima people and cattle owners. These experiences informed this study and documentation of Ankole cows, and his overall contribution to the conservation of the Banyankore pastoral culture.
