Genera
Anoa
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[1] [more]
Ardeotis
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[2] [more]
Bibos
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[3] [more]
Bison
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[4] [more]
Boocercus
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[5] [more]
Bos
Bos is the of wild and domestic cattle. Bos can be divided into four subgenera: Bos, Bibos, Novibos, and Poephagus, but these divisions are controversial. The genus has five extant species. However, this may rise to seven if the domesticated varieties are counted as separate species, and nine if the closely related genus Bison is also included. [more]
Boselaphus
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[6] [more]
Bubalis
Bubalus
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[7] [more]
Elachistoceras
Eosyncerus
Eotragus
Equus
Equus may refer to: [more]
Leptobos
Mesembriportax
Pachyportax
Parabos
Pelorovis
Pelorovis ("Prodigious/Monstrous ") was an extinct genus of African wild cattle, which first appeared in the Pliocene, 2.5 million years ago, and became extinct during the Holocene, some 4,000 years ago. [more]
Protragocerus
Pseudoryx
The Saola or Vu Quang ox, also, infrequently, Vu Quang bovid (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis), one of the world's rarest , is a forest-dwelling bovine found only in Vietnam (Vu Quang Nature Reserve) and in Laos, near the Vietnam-Laotian border. Its name Saola means spindle-[horned]. The scientific epithet nghetinhensis refers to the two Vietnamese provinces of Nghe An and Ha Tinh while Pseudoryx acknowledges the animal's similarities with the Arabian or African oryx. The Hmong natives call this beast saht-supahp, a term derived from Lao meaning "the polite animal", because it moves quietly through the forest. [more]
Selenoportax
Simatherium
Sivoreas
Strogulognathus
Syncerus
A Genus in the Kingdom unknown!.[8] [more]
Taurotragus
Taurotragus, commonly called Eland, is a genus of of the African savannah, containing two species: the Common Eland and the Giant Eland. The elands are the largest African antelopes. [more]
Tetracerus
A Genus in the Kingdom unknown!.[9] [more]
Tragelaphus
The Tragelaphus contains several species of bovine, all of which are relatively antelope-like. Species in this genus tend to be large sized, lightly built, have long necks and considerable sexual dimorphism. The Common Eland (Taurotragus oryx) was once classified in this genus as T. oryz. [more]
Tragoportax
Ugandax
