[26] [27] With the exception of the open-plains dwelling American bison and the montane-dwelling wild yak, all species of wild cattle inhabit wooded or forested areas with some clearings.

North of the Missouri River, the state is primarily rolling hills of the Great Plains, whereas south of the Missouri River, the state is dominated by the oak-hickory Central U.S. hardwood forest. Some of the native species found in Missouri are included below. [1] [2]
Bos (from Latin bōs: cow, ox, bull) is a genus of bovines, which includes, among others, wild and domestic cattle.. Bos is often divided into four subgenera: Bos, Bibos, Novibos, and Poephagus, but including these last three divisions within the genus Bos without including Bison is believed to be paraphyletic by many workers on the classification of the genus since the 1980s.

Cattle breeds fall into two main types, which are regarded as either two closely related species, or two subspecies of one species.

The German zoologist Herwart Bohlken also agreed with these conclusions, though he believed that the two bison species should be lumped into Bison bison. [11] The kouprey was not included in Simpson's taxonomy, [10] while Bohlken (1958) considered the species to be a hybrid between banteng and cattle. [11] Below is the Simpson (1945) taxonomy: [10]
