Bos indicus and Bos taurus are two very closely related species of cattle. Bos indicus are the "tropical cattle" - they have a pronounced hump over their shoulders, a pendulous penis and prepuce (in the males), very large ears and well-developed dewlaps (redundant skin over their briskets or chests). Bos taurus are the "temperate cattle" - they have smaller ears, carry the penis close to the body, no hump and very little redundant skin. Bos taurus is the species of cattle that Angus, Hereford and Piedmontese fall under.
