Description
Driving around the ancient Lake Catemaco in Veracruz, Mexico, I stopped several times to photograph these amazing cattle, descendants of the species imported by the Spanish into Mexico in the late 1500s. You may notice that they resemble the sacred cows of India, which reveals their lineage. Cows from India were imported to Spain in medieval times (if not before). When Cortez conquered Montezuma's empire in Mexico, these cattle came with the deal. In present time, their lineage is preserved in the State of Veracruz.
