You might be thinking of the white buffalo...\n\nhttp://www.homestead.com/WhiteBuffaloMiracle/\n\nThe birth of the white buffalo was supposed to herald the advent of White Buffalo Woman, a woman sacred to the Sioux tribe.  The legend goes that when she returns, she will restore the Sioux nation to its former glory.

humans... Homo sapiens\namerican buffalo ...  Bison bison\nchinook salmon... Oncorhynchus tshawytscha\ncommon chimpanzee... Pan troglodytes\npygmy chimpanzee...  Pan paniscus\n\nNote that the species is identified by both its genus and species name, with the genus capitalized and the species not capitalized... The genus and species can even be the same name, like the buffalo.  Species can sometimes be broken down into sub-species as well...

the heffers(female) are keep for breeding and or milking later.\nthe bulls used to be killed or given away so as not to use up the milk that could be sold. now most dairy's sale them to be hand raised for beef. i have raised two, many years ago myself.

very little is different - their are more similarities in fact.. both are made of cells and their cells are very similair until you get to DNA structure.. but even that is somewhat similar.. both have hair, give live birth, produce milk for their young (both are mammals). both have vertibrae, ribs, legs, etc.. similar bones just some are longer than others in different parts of their bodies.. both need to eat and both produce waste.. both value their lives equally\n\nthe few differences are one eats meat the other is strictly vegetarian.  Deer have longer limbs for running and eyes widely spaced to see a preditor and set on a longer neck.. Lions have close set eyes designed for locking onto prey, they have claws for catching as opposed to hoofs for running, and stronger forelimbs - build to kill\ndeer - built to run

Cows only have teeth on the bottom and a flat cartilaginous plate on the top.  Really  go lift up a lip and check it out!

A North American moose is very tall with a long head and bulbous nose. The antlers are primarily a large slab with prongs on them. They are dark brown in color and like to inhabit marshy places or eat grass from the bottom of streams or lakes.\nAn elk is smaller than a moose and inhabits more open area than a moose although their habitats overlap to some extent. Elk are lighter brown in color and have a white butt. There antlers are more like a branch with several sub branches.\nMoose and elk have different vocalizations.

depends, bacteria are classified by their ssRNA plants and animals are usually categorized by their morphological characteristics. The more specific you are, the better answers you'll receive.

No, they're both ungulates, but different animals. Alpacas are of the genus Vicugna and llamas are of the genus lama.

Domestic cattle, Bos taurus, are extinct in the wild. However wild cattle today is in the Bos genus and are in the bovinae subfamily, a part of the bovidae family. These include gaur of India, Cambodian Forest Ox or Kouprey, Cape Buffalo, Asian Water Buffalo. They are not true cattle like domestic ones but are very closely related animals very similar in appearance to cattle.\n\nAnd remember cows and bulls are just males and females of the same species, cattle, or usually Bos taurus. The females are called cows and the males are called bulls.

There are two issues here. One is that the body shape of ruminants and herbivores in general is very different from ours. If you think about it, their trunks aren't fat, but rather their legs are proportionally thin; that's the typical body shape for good runners such as ungulates (hoofed mammals) which they are.\nIn addition, mammals that are herbivorous and feed specially on grass tend to have large abdomens. That is only partially related to the number of digestive compartments they have (think of a leaf-eating gorilla compared with a slimmer omnivorous baboon); usually their intestine is extra long because they need more absorptive surface, as leaves are not the most nutritious and easy-to-digest food.\nA side note: cows don't have 4 stomachs; only the last of those cavities is equivalent to our stomach (i.e. glandular, with enzyme secretion) whereas the other 3 are often considered as subdivisions of the esophagus. \nAll that being said, a pampered cow that ingests more energy more than what it spends, will get as fat as a cow ;)

The terms "jackass" and "mule" refer to the same animal.  This crossbreed is created by mating a horse and a donkey.  I am not sure of the timing of when this was first done.  It was done in order to create a larger pack animal that was more biddable than a horse.\nThe Donkey and the Burro are closely related and simply evolved (as did the horse) from the small horse-like mammals that existed even during the time of dinosaurs (although they were much smaller than) in different climates and geological conditions.  The main difference between these two animals is size.  The donkey is much larger and developed in europe and asia.  The burro comes from mexico and the americas in general and is smaller due to the harsher conditions in which it developed.

I'd put my money on the hippo. Most people think they're fat, dumb, slow & cowardly, but they're actually one of the most aggressive animals in the wild-and they've got the size & weight to back it up, not to mention massive jaws & teeth.

Here's something to think about.\n\n"A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members."\n\n"In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first."\n\n"In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
