It's not "Boss Taurus" it's Bos taurus, or more properly Bos primigenius taurus. This is a subspecies of cattle that primarily originate from European countries that are acclimatized to cool climates. This subspecies comprises of many breeds such as Holsteins, Angus, Hereford, Belgian Blue, Chianina, Murray Grey, Jerseys, Guernseys, Brown Swiss, Charolais, Simmental and a host of others.

B. p. taurus shares the collective species term Bos primigenius with another (and only) subspecies called B. p. indicus. This subspecies covers those cattle that originate from the tropical areas of the word like Asia and Africa, and are differentiated from B. p. taurus cattle by their prominent humps, large ears and loose skin that is highly characteristic of this subspecies. The American Brahman is an example of a breed of this subspecies.
