Bos taurus, commonly known as domestic cattle, are large mammals that belong to the Bovidae family. They are primarily raised for their meat, milk, and hides. Cattle are social animals that often live in herds and exhibit a range of behaviors, including grooming and vocalizations to communicate with one another. These animals are herbivores, primarily grazing on grasses and other vegetation. They have a unique digestive system that allows them to break down tough plant materials through a process called rumination. Bos taurus has been domesticated for thousands of years, playing a crucial role in agriculture and human society.
