Description

This is a video recording introducing the hobat, a type of bovine which results from the interbreeding of domestic cattle and mithuns. Tamor Mize describes how a hobat looks different from both cows and mithuns, particularly in terms of their horns. Hobat are usually black in colour, with horns more like a mithun than like a cow, except smaller. On being asked whether hobat share the cultural significance that Minyong accord to mithuns, Tamor Mize replies that hobat have the same status as mithun, which means that a hobat can be used for various types of ritual ceremonies or exchanges wherein cattle would not suffice. Hobat are also marked on the ear according to the clan of its owner, for identification, like mithuns.
