Cow - Canvas

Bos (from Latin bōs: cow, ox, bull) is the genus of wild and domestic cattle. The species are grazers, with large teeth to break up the plant material they ingest. They are ruminants, having a four-chambered stomach that allows them to break down plant material. There are about 1.3 billion domestic cattle alive today, making them one of the world's most numerous mammals. Members of this genus are currently found in Africa, Asia, Europe, parts of North America, South America and also in Oceania. Their habitats vary greatly depending on the particular species; they can be found in prairies, rain forests, wetlands, savannah and temperate forests. Most Bos species have a lifespan of 18–25 years in the wild, with up to 36 being recorded in captivity.
