The genus Bos is a group of both wild and domestic Bovidae made up of large to very large grazers, including large animals of great economic significance to humans such as domestic cattle, domestic buffalo, and the Yak. This tribe also includes their smaller Asian relatives, the large free-roaming African buffalo.

Animals of of the Bos genus are referred to as bovine, or cattle, and this gallery will mostly deal with the somewhat wild species of this genus in North America.

The Genus Bos includes: Bali Cattle-Banteng (bos javanicus); Domestic Cattle (bos primigenus) with two subspecies Taurine (b.p.taurus) and Zebu (b.p.indicus); Gaur-Indian Bison (bos gaurus); Gayal-Domesticated Gaur (bos frontalis); Kouprey (bos sauveli); Wild Yak (bos mutus); Domesticated Yak (bos grunniens)

One of the breeds of domestic cattle that has always been a favorite to me is the Longhorn cattle.

While traveling through east Texas to visit the Big Thicket national preserve, I was to come upon a couple of Texas Longhorns and stopped for a photo.

Another location that I have been to where there are more longhorns is southwest Oklahoma at the Wichata National Wildlife Preserve. However, I was not able to acquire any photos on that visit. I want to return to Doris campground and when there to try again.
