This category includes mammals, usually portrayed as very muscular in the torso, with longer hoofed legs, and small horns that are pointed forward, and sometimes slightly curved. Bulls are male, Cows are female, Cows usually don't have horns, and sometimes have udders or are shown suckling young.  Otherwise they are hard to distinguish.
