There are many, many differences, not just one. The three most obvious differences is where humans have hands, cows have hooves, cows are covered thickly in hair whereas a human is only scarcely covered in hair, and cows walk on all fours but humans only walk on two legs. Other differences are in size and strength, body and head structure, skeletal structure, movement/mobility and how and what each species eats.

∙ 12y agoStructurally and anatomically speaking, cows (and cattle) are larger animals than humans are, and thus need larger bones in the legs to be able to support their weight. Cows also don't stand up on two feet, but rather are four-legged animals that have the upper part of the leg above the flank in the body, rather than out as part of the leg like with us humans.
