they are being bred and reared by the Toda tribe of the locality,
They are semi-wild, domesticated and art: maintained for milk and
milk bye-products. They are ash grey in colour and have a thick
growth of hair like mane along the crest of neck, bump and back,
giving a bison-like appearance They have an affinity to swampy
