In the remote areas of Madagascar, zebu-drawn carts are an iconic sight in the bush. On national roads or isolated paths, it’s not uncommon to see two zebu pulling a cart, accompanied by two or three men and loaded with goods. Although rustic, this mode of transport is invaluable to villagers when options for collective transport are scarce or even nonexistent for connecting isolated villages.
