Bos taurus is a species name for all cattle around the world that do not have the floppy ears, the rump and loose, heat and insect-resistant skin like that of the Bos indicusspecies. Bos taurus comprises of cattle that are collectively and commonly called "European" cattle, and come from more temperate zones (cool and dry or moist), rather than the tropical areas where Bos indicus cattle come from.
