Wild cows are just called "wild cows" or feral cows. This is because they have not had much human contact throughout their lives and act in a highly fearful or defensive state when in the company of humans.
Cows, though, also refer to females of other species besides the domesticated bovid. Bison females are called cows, which are also truly wild animals (exceptions are those raised privately which have been crossbred with cattle in the past). Elephants, moose, caribou, rhinos, hippos, and many other animals whose females are called "cows" are also wild.

∙ 15y agoWild cattle are larger members of the Bovidae family, a scientific grouping that also includes antelope, goats, and sheep. They include Asian water buffalo Bubalus bubalis, African or Cape buffalo Syncerus sp., bantengs Bos javanicus, gaurs Bos gaurus, yaks Bos grunniens, bison Bison sp., and all domestic cattle. Both male and female wild cattle species have horns, but the bull's (male's) horns are much larger and thicker than the cow's (female's). Cape buffalo have two horns that are joined so that they cover the whole top of the head. In most species, the bull is also much larger than the cow.
