Mundari tribesman with one of the bulls of his herd (South Sudan). The Mundari are cattle herders who live in symbiosis with their bovines. Nothing is more important for them than their Ankole Watusi cattle, characterized by their large horns. The Mundari use the ash created by the fires to rub on themselves and their cattle, creating a protection against the (extremely) numerous and voracious mosquitoes of the area. They massage their animals twice a day.
