A breed of large cattle from the Guzerat region of India, known for being sturdy and able to work in hot climates.
From Guzerat (also spelled Gujarat), a region in western India. The cattle breed takes its name from this geographic area where it has been raised for thousands of years. English colonists in India adopted the term when learning about local livestock.
Guzerat cattle are so adapted to hot climates that they've been bred into other cattle breeds all over the world—a Guzerat might have been an ancestor of cattle in Texas or Brazil! This shows how European colonizers learned about useful animals from the places they encountered.
