There was some debate on which picture to post for this weeks Camera Critters. I had it narrowed down to two different pictures, but I decided to go with this one mainly because I have no idea what the heck this animal is. This is a picture of something my daughter saw at Disney's Animal Kingdom. She thinks it's a Long Horn Steer, but isn't sure. Does anybody know what the heck kind of animal this is?

Being cattle farmers, you'd think that either Hubs or I would have known what this is... but neither one of us have a clue! That thing sure does have quite the rack on it! hehehe I could make a comment to my BBFF, but I'll behave myself ahahahaha
Wow...that's one big long horn. Looks like the sort of cattle raised in Africa to me. Possibly the Ankole Longhorn. Nice shot!
Amazing creature, splendidly the two..... swords! Great post!
I've decided it is a longhorned steer, but I know even less about cattle than the average person, which is very very little. Cool, though.
I'm not so sure myself. Those horns don't look so real. Is it some kind of YAK?
Those are LONG horns alright .. and 'he' seems to have that sort of under belly thing bull's have .. where did you take the photo?
Stay out from in front of him! Those would so hurt. I wonder if he's top heavy?
Is that a photo she took? i don't have a clue as those horns are huge. seems like it would have a hard time walking with that kind of a rack
Neat though
No way. That's fer real? The horns look Photoshopped. Bizarre.
Egads! Those are pretty darn sharp horns. It's a miracle he doesn't tip over... LOL.
The Rocky Mountain Retreat
Those are some long horns. Great photo! I would so love to visit Animal Kingdom.
It's amazing he can hold his head up. Great camera critter.
Just dropping by to let you know there was a problem with the Wired quiz scoring. I have readjusted for it on my blog so that a more accurate score can be obtained.
that picture is crazy!!
I don't know what it is, but those are some big horns!
that thing has a set of horns that would even make a trucker get jealous! What a fantastic capture!
I am not sure what that animal is too, but the horns are gorgeous, dont you think?
it's a wonderful photo! no clue about what kind of animal this is thou... :)
hmmm...i have no idea what animal the name of this animal????
Mine in here Thanks
It is not too scare took this photo so close :D
Will you visit mine Thanks
If it's at Disney it could be from anywhere!
Great photo!
I'm surprised he doesn't tip over on his nose.
What an impressive looking beast, wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him!
wonderful picture and your cute little guy below too !! sandy
Phew! What an amazing creature.
Great to meet new bloggers through Misty Dawn's meme.
Hi from UK,
Dx
Wow, he looks a bit top heavy...Awesome horns!
I like misty's comment about it's "rack" and then the reference to a certain someone! LOL!!
And I have no idea what that is, other then what you said, some kinda bull or something.
Yes, it's a Longhorn Steer. I believe they are a Texas breed. Here's a picture of a different one. http://www.biosurvey.ou.edu/okwild/misc/images/longhorn.jpg
That big horn...
(Que chifrão...)
Wow … hard to imagine how he holds his head up with those humongous horns (antlers?) I’m playing for the 1st time at Small Reflections … introducing ‘Molly’ today.
Hugs and blessings,
Tee Hee had to chuckle at "that thing has a set of horns that would even make a trucker get jealous!" Good one there B13...
Great picture
That's a neat picture, but I don't know what it is exactly either. Kinda looks like a steer, but I'm not sure. A good post for this weeks meme.
I never saw a cow with that big a set of horns. I think it's from Africa also. Great picture.
I don't think it is a longhorn steer such as they have in Texas. The horns of the Texas Longhorn go out straighter from the side of the head and don't appear as heavy near the head. I would bet it comes from Afria.
Oh my! Those horns are really long. Great photo.
Well i haven't a clue what it is apart form a great photo.
love the critter.....what a beautiful animal.....

Yikes! That sure is a set of horns. I am surprised he can even keep his head up.
It looks a lot like a breed of cattle called "Rooi Afrikaner" commonly farmed in Southern Africa - this one is an ox, but the horns seems a bit long, so it must be something similar that one finds there in America.
That was one of my favorite animals on the Animal Kingdom tour. I have no idea what it is though.
The horns are so big it's as if the photo is photoshopped! Amazing he can stand up with those. Fantastic photo. Has to be long horn bull.
Wow what an animal and what loely horns it has. Great snap.
Danggggggggg that's one long set of horns. I'd sure hate to be in his way! I think you make a great choice today.
And (I'm Louie's Mom) he would just adore you as well, I'm sure...he's such a lover dog.
Fortunately for him wearing horns has not the same meaning as for humans, lol !
No - can't help with the name - it's certainly a long horn something, though...
Great choice!
Hi Tammy. Those are certainly large horns. Anyone would be quite scared to go near that guy.
Thank you for visiting my other blog.
It's a "Well-Horned Beastie!" Those are very rare on my planet. ;)
I don't know what it is, but I do know it is not Texas Longhorn. I'd say far more likely from Africa. I looked around the 'net' at several breeds of African cattle, and this is the closest I came to the one in your photo...

Not saying it's the same, but far closer than the Texas Longhorn... and no doubt he's a bull.
Anyway, it is a fantastic photo of an amazing looking animal.
Major WOW!! Bet I could still chase him, tho... bark bark. That is, IF I wanted to.
Interesting set of horns and pretty color. He/she looks like he is from another country?
