Livestock in Kenya

Caption

These are cattle and donkeys at a camp in Kenya. A new University of Utah-led study found that early herders and livestock traveling from eastern Africa to southern Africa some 2,000 years ago could have passed through the Lake Victoria Basin in southwest Kenya because the area was grassy, not a bushy, tsetse fly-infested environment as previously believed.
