Danakil

Cattle

The Danakil cattle are found in the steppe and semi-desert areas of the Afar region of Ethiopia, southeastern part of Eritrea (along the southern Red sea coast) and northern part of Djibouti. In the centre of these areas is found the Danakil depression from which the name of the breed is derived. The cattle have also spread along the Awash River to parts of the Western Hararghe and Eastern Shewa zones where they are called Adal (or Afar). The adjacent Raya and Kereyu tribes in Eastern Shoa, South Wollo and Western Hararghe maintain a related breed by the name Raya Azebo.
