In some ACG works, bulls and bull-related things appear sometimes.

Introduction

Bovids in general

Bovid is the general name for animals in the Bovinae subfamily of the Bovidae family in the order Artiodactyla.

Bovids in a broad sense include cows, bulls, bison, buffalo, etc. Some cattle are named according to their habitat. For example, wild cattle are called "bison", and cattle that like to live near water are called "buffalo".

Bovids are one of the animals most closely related to humans. Since ancient times, cows have been the most important animal power for humans, used for farming, transportation, etc.

Cattle are widely distributed on all continents except Antarctica.

Bovids are large herbivores. The natural enemies of wild cattle are mainly various large carnivorous beasts. The main weapon they use to protect themselves is a pair of horns on their heads (especially bulls, and the horns of cows are usually Very short).

There were once American livestock farmers who fed cattle meat, and as a result, those cattle were infected with mad cow disease.

Cow

Cows (also called dairy cows) are dairy breeds of domestic cattle . After years of highly selective breeding, there are now many types. China's dairy cows are mainly Friesian cows (Holstein cows), because Holstein cows produce the most milk of all cows. The highest among dairy breeds, thus maximizing its economic benefits. Therefore, people usually think of cows in this image.

Humans have a very long history of raising and domesticating cows. At least 5,000 years ago, the residents near West Asia became the most nutritious group at that time because of milk. Around 3100 BC, cows were introduced to Egypt (or they may have been domesticated successfully by the ancient Egyptians alone). The ancient Egyptians loved milk more. Even Hathor, the goddess of fertility, looked like a cow.

Cows often appear in ACG works, but almost all of them are Holstein cows. After all, when other types of cows are released, people don’t even know that they are actually cows, which is a bit embarrassing.

Bulls and human culture

• As early as about 8000 BC, cattle have been domesticated as domestic animals in the Middle East, South Asia and other places. Depending on the breed, they can be used for farming, animal power transportation, meat, milk, etc. In ancient times, in some areas (such as China), there was an explicit law prohibiting the slaughter of farm cattle, and violators would be sentenced to prison.
• Beef is one of the main meats consumed by humans, second only to pork and chicken. In major cuisines around the world, there are many dishes with beef as the main ingredient.

• The ox is one of the twelve zodiac animals in China, Japan and other countries, corresponding to the second "ugly" of the twelve earthly branches.

• In regions such as Spain, Portugal, and the United Kingdom in Europe, as well as in China, Japan, and South Korea in East Asia, bullfighting is an entertainment or sports activity. Among them, humans and bulls fight in Spain and Portugal, cows and bulldogs fight in the UK, and cows fight with cows in East Asia.

• In animated films and circuses, there are often scenes of matadors waving red cloths to lure bulls, leading many people to believe that bulls are excited by the color red. This is actually wrong. In fact, the bull is color blind and can only feel the shaking objects. Only humans are excited about the color red...
• In Hinduism, cows are sacred objects (especially zebu, the most revered), and offending and killing them is prohibited. Killing cows may even lead to death (especially for low-caste people). There are also people who drink cow urine and believe that cow urine can cure many diseases, and some manufacturers make cow urine drinks for sale. But Muslims in India can slaughter less noble cattle such as buffalo. India exports more than 1 million tons of beef every year and is the world's largest beef exporter . Although there are also extreme Hindus who oppose the government's policy of allowing non-Hindus to kill cows.

• The teachings of the Zhengyi sect of Taoism believe that bulls plow the fields and cows produce milk. They work all their lives and help all living beings. They have great kindness to mankind, so believers are prohibited from eating beef.

• Cow dung can be used as fuel after drying.
• As a vulnerable species, wild yak is a first-level protected animal in China.
• In Chinese myths and legends, the "ox head" in the bull-headed horse face in the underworld is the image of a bull's head and a human body.
• In Greek mythology, the "Minotaur (Minos)" of Crete is an image with the head of a bull and the body of a human body. In addition, the god Zeus once approached the Phoenician princess Europa in the form of a white bull. His appearance as a white bull was the zodiac constellation Taurus.
• The fictional race "Tauren" in modern Western fantasy creations is an image of a bull-headed human body, and its prototype may be derived from the Minotaur.

• Due to the homophony of NTR , "Tauren" is often referred to as NTR.

• In the Epic of Gilgamesh, there is a record of Gilgamesh and Enkidu joining forces to kill the long-horned beetle.

• "John Bull" is a British nickname, derived from the 18th century novel "The Life of John Bull". The character is indeed a bull-tempered man.

• The bison is the national animal (national mammal) of the United States, equivalent to the national bird, the bald eagle. The profession of riding horses and taking care of cattle in the American continent is called cowboys. Cowboys in the American West are especially famous and have formed a unique culture.

• The Italian car company Lamborghini's car logo is a bullfight; most of its production cars are also named after famous bullfights in history.
