Best Answer

The two most popular species of cows are:

Bos Taurus (European-type cattle like the Holstein, Angus and Hereford)

Bos indicus (Indian/African-type cattle like Brahman, Nelore and Indu-Brazilian)

Other five lesser known cows include the following:

Bos gaurus (Gaur, or Indian Bison)

Bos frontalis (Gayal)

Bos javanicus (Bateng)

Bos sauveli (Kouprey or Grey Ox)

Bos grunniens (Yak)

So in total there are actually seven species of cows in the world.
