The creature in the picture is a Watusi bull, just one of the many fine examples of what can be done with the basic genes for Bos taurus when humans are patient enough about it. The breed is also called Ankoli. I met this critter at the Natural Bridge Caverns Wildlife Park in New Braunfels, Texas; it wouldn't come much closer to my car. I have more pictures, but they're at the developer right now. Just thought you might like to see some of what I saw when I was in Texas.

The animal is, by the way, about the length of the Pontiac Alero I was driving. I couldn't get a proper comparison as he wouldn't get closer.

And the only thing I can think of with this is:

"Damn. That'd make a huge pair of drinking horns."

I may need to diversify my hobby portfolio.
