<< cattle meat and wild oxen these are naming of Linne in Lingua Latina for
innocently called "buffalo" or "oxen" in English or Japanese:>>
The following answers come from the current draft of Anaxial's Record, and may be subject to change in later drafts:
<< indian water-oxen: Bos bubalis Linnaeus / Pamaltela? / Africa and India >>
There are no cattle to be found in Pamaltela of any kind. The water buffalo (Bubalus arnee last time I looked, but taxonomists and cladisticians keep changing their minds about this sort of thing) is native to Kralorela.
<< american bison: Bos bison Linnaeus / Prax and Great Waste, and Peloria
after
fighting of Argentium Thrille / america >>
Its called 'Bison praxus' for reasons best known to the God Learners, but, yes, its the same as the american bison, not the Old World sort.
<< north american musk-oxen: Ovibos moschatus / Pent? / Canada? >>
There's no mention of these (which are caprines, not bovines, trivia fans) in AR, but they'd most likely live in Fronela rather than Pent, though either is possible.
<< cattle (extinct orox in RW, source of domestic cattle): Bos taurus Linnaeus
/ Orlanthi Land? >>
Cows are found throughout western and central Genertela, although you're likely right about the source of the original wild ones, since that is indeed, where the aurochs are said to come from.
Two you didn't mention are the gaur (Bos gaurus / Teshnos) and yak (Bos mutus / Shan Shan).
<< magical entity: skybull (winged orox): Bos venti / stormwalk mountain >>
Throughout Genertela, except the orient, says the GB. The original skybulls were the offspring of Urox and mortal heifers, and so were probably confined to Dragon Pass and Prax, but they can fly, and the storm barbarians have spread a long way too, so they're now found far afield.
<< think about Tawar (taurus), Bisos (bison) in Peloria and Urox(orox) in
Dragon Pass
:Greg's unintentional crossing? >>
I should think it was intentional, myself.
Forward the glorious Red Army!
