LISTEN TO THE TEXT
A bull is an adult male mammal of the species Bos taurus. In a herd the dominant male guards cows and selects grazing paths. Bulls have a stomach with 4 chambers and chew the cud. Strong neck muscles help them push rivals during contests. Short bursts of speed can reach about 40 km/hr. Adult weight in large breeds may exceed 1 000 kg. Sharp curved horns are used for defense and display. Bulls rely on keen smell to detect females in heat. The deep bellow carries far across open fields. In many regions bulls once pulled heavy ploughs and carts. Some breeds like the zebu have a tall shoulder hump. Thick loose skin around the neck protects during clashes. The gestation of a calf in cattle lasts about 9 months. With calm handling bulls learn to recognize people and routines. Across cultures the bull is a symbol of strength and fertility.
