The female counterpart to a bull is a cow, while a male of the species which has been castrated is a steer, ox or bullock, although in North America this last term refers to a young bull, and in Australia to a draught animal. Usage of these terms varies considerably with area and dialect. Colloquially, people unfamiliar with cattle may refer to both castrated and intact animals as "bulls".
A wild, young, unmarked bull is known as a micky in Australia. Improper or late castration on a bull results in it becoming a coarse steer, also known as a stag in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. In some countries an incompletely castrated male is known also as a rig or ridgling.
The word "bull" also means the males of other bovines, including bison and water buffalo as well as many other species of large animals including elephants, camels, elk, moose, and whales.
Wild cattle, including bulls, live in grasslands. They are herbivores and primarily eat grass. Today most cattle are domestic, and they live in pastures. Feedlots that deliver grains grown elsewhere to cattle to increase the productivity of cattle production are increasing. Bulls are also used to describe adult males of a variety of species, including elephant bulls, seal bulls.
Now for some new picture's the skeleton one is what i based my bull's part of my quadtraped on.
