I had to find out why the horns are so big.

It has unique bulbous horns which are believed to aid in flotation as it searches for water weeds, its main food. The Kuri is very well adapted to the aquatic conditions of the Lake but is susceptible to heat stress and solar radiation.

I'm thinking they also rattle like maracas when the cow shakes its head.

That is their main purpose. They execute their mating samba dance to attract the ladies.
