Kenyan Tribe Gifts Cows, Bull and Goat to Prince George

Prince George will be receiving a herd of cows as his christening present from a Kenyan tribe.

The four-month-old royal baby will get four heifers, a bull and a goat, considered as an act of honor by the Samburu community.

According to the media reports, the livestock will be reared in Lewa, Kenya. "Thank you all so very much for the extraordinary honour. I remember my time with you with immense happiness and I could not be more grateful to you all for this kindness," Prince William wrote in his thank you note.

"It brings me great joy to know George's 'pension' will be herded on a land we care deeply for. We hope one day he will be able to see them for himself," the 31-year-old Duke added.

Prince William also said that the country is close to his and wife Kate's heart. He visited the country with his late mother Princess Diana and has taken active part in most of the causes for the African country.

"Like any new parents, our thoughts inevitably turn to the world that our child will inherit," he said recently. "It is unfathomable to imagine a world in which children who have been born in the past couple of months may grow up in a world in which rhinoceros have ceased to live in the wild."

"The possibility of extinction is bad enough for one of our children growing up here in the West, who never experience the magic of seeing a rhino," he continued, "or even for my own little George, who Catherine and I very much hope to introduce to east Africa -- a place we know and love -- in the fullness of time."
