The zebu 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. Zebu are used as draught and riding animals, dairy cattle, and beef cattle.
