Animal's that got the somali name

Post by SuldaanOfSanaag »

Somali Cat breed
The first Somali cats appeared in the litters of Abyssinians as long-haired kittens. In the 1940s a British breeder named Janet Robertson exported some Abyssinian kittens to Australia, New Zealand and North America. Descendants of these cats occasionally produced kittens with long or fuzzy coats. In 1963, Mary Mailing, a breeder from Canada, entered one into a local pet show. Ken McGill, the show's judge, asked for one for breeding purposes.

Somali Pigeon
The Somali pigeon or Somali stock dove (Columba oliviae) is a species of bird in the Columbidae family. It is endemic to northern Somalia. Because there has hardly been any research on the species, the health of the population is uncertain. However, it has been suggested that the species is relatively rare. The IUCN Redlist identified a possible threat to the species from the speckled pigeon (Columba guinea).[1]

The species dwells mostly in rock along the arid coast of Somalia. Food sources include seeds, cultivated grain and berries.

Somali sheep
The Somali sheep is the direct forebear of the Blackhead Persian, the latter of which was bred in South Africa between the late 19th century to early 20th century and has been extensively used for crossbreeding in many tropical areas.[1]

The Somali sheep is white with a black head. It belongs to the fat-tail type, and both of the breed's genders are polled.[1][3] The animal is mainly reared for meat production,[1] and is a major export of the Somalian economy, particularly to the Arabian peninsula.[4]
