Which animals were most important in the life of Maasai pastoralists?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cattle

The direct answer is D: cattle were central to the life of Maasai pastoralists. In a pastoral society, animals are not merely food; they provide wealth, milk, social status and a means of exchange. For the Maasai, cattle were especially important, and the size of a herd could represent a family’s resources and security. The reasoning is therefore: Maasai pastoralism depended strongly on livestock, and cattle formed its economic and social base. Option D is correct. Option A is wrong because elephants were not the main domesticated wealth animal of Maasai pastoral life. Option B is wrong because fish were not the principal livestock resource of inland Maasai herders. Option C is wrong because horses were not the central animal identified with Maasai pastoralism. Memory cue: Maasai means cattle-centred pastoral life.
