Cattle – The Andorra national animal

Cattle is the official and national animal of Andorra. In fact, this is one of the oldest animals in Andorra and has been there since the country was first founded. It’s common to see cattle grazing in fields or wandering around town, and they’re often considered sacred by local residents.

The name “cattle” comes from the Latin word “capra,” which means goat. The word “cattle” can also be used to refer to the meat of a cow.

The cattle are a major part of Andorran culture, and can be found throughout the country. They are especially known for their ability to graze on difficult terrain, which helps them survive in the harsh climate of Andorra.

The people of Andorra have also kept their cattle as a major part of their culture for thousands of years. In fact, it is said that the original inhabitants of Andorra were nomadic cattle herders who migrated from Spain.

In addition to being an important part of Andorran culture, Cattle are also considered sacred animals by many people in Andorra. In fact, it is illegal to kill or injure a cow in any way in Andorra—even if you have reason to believe it has been injured or killed by another person or animal. This law was enacted after several people were held responsible for killing cows without provocation during times of civil unrest during World War II (which lasted from 1939-1946).

Difference Between Cattle and Cow?

The difference between cow and cattle is that cow refers to a female bovine who has had a calf, whereas cattle refers broadly to any male or female bovine.
