Genera
Acinonyx
Anoa
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[1] [more]
Ardeotis
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[2] [more]
Balearica
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[3] [more]
Bison
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[4] [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]
Bubalis
Bubalus
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[5] [more]
Eosyncerus
Equus
Equus may refer to: [more]
Hippopotamus
The hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) or hippo (: , hippopotamos, from ?pp??, hippos, "horse", and p?taµ??, potamos, "river") is a large, mostly plant-eating mammal in sub-Saharan Africa, and one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae (the other is the Pygmy Hippopotamus). The hippopotamus is the heaviest extant artiodactyl, despite being considerably shorter than the giraffe. [more]
Leptobos
Leptoptilos
A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[6] [more]
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]
Simatherium
Syncerus
A Genus in the Kingdom unknown!.[7] [more]
Ugandax
Ursus
Ursus is for "bear". In this form it refers to a male bear or the species regardless of gender; the specifically female form is Ursa. It could refer to: [more]
At least 82 species and subspecies belong to the Genus Ursus.
