Wild oxen are large, herbivorous mammals belonging to the Bovidae family. They are known for their impressive size and strength, with species such as the European bison and Indian gaur being notable examples. These animals typically inhabit grasslands, forests, and mountainous regions, where they graze on grasses, leaves, and shrubs. Wild oxen are social creatures, often found in herds that provide protection against predators. They play a crucial role in their ecosystems by helping to maintain vegetation balance. Conservation efforts are important for some species, as habitat loss and hunting have led to declining populations in certain areas.
