Descriptio

Specimen conservatum.

Boves muti.

Bos mutus mas.

Bos mutus hieme.

Mulier cum Bove muto ad lacum Qinghai.

Hybrida Bovis muti et Bovis tauri.

Bos mutus inter maximas bovidas exstantis numeratur, et est maximum animal indigena in suis terris. Adulti ab 1.6 ad 2.2 metra alti in armo stant et a 305 ad 1200 chiliogrammata ponderis sunt. Longitudo capitis corporisque est a 2.5 ad 3.4 metra, cauda a 60 ad 100 centimetra longa exclusa.^[4] Feminae maribus circa tertiam partem ponderis et triginta centesimas breviores sunt. Boves muti domesticati sunt aliquantulum minores.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]

Haec animalia sunt magna et gravia, figura ampla, cruribus firmis, ungulis rotundis et spissis. Ad cutem frigore protegendam, uber in feminis et scrotum in maribus sunt parva et pelle tecta. Feminis sunt quattuor papillae. Ambobus sexibus est pellis longa et villosa, lanea supra pectus, ilia, femora, ad cutem frigore segregandam. Praecipue in maribus, haec pellis solum tangere potest. Cauda est longa et equiformis, non flocculata sicut cauda pecorum et bisontium. Pellis, plerumque nigra vel atrobrunnea, plurimum corporis tegit. Capistrum est canum, sed nonnulli singuli capistris brunneo-aureo videntur. Boves muti pelle aurea praediti yak fera aurea (Mandarinice 金色野牦牛, pinyin jīnsèyě máoniú) appellantur. Eruditi Sinici eos subspeciem in periculum vocatam habent, et eorum numerus in terris feris est circa 170.^[9]

Distributio et habitatio

Boves muti plerumque in Tibeto septentrionali et Qinghai occidentali inveniuntur, ac nonnulli in maxime septentrionalibus Xinjiang et in Ladakh in India regionibus habitant. Pauci in locis remotis inveniuntur, praecipue in Tibeto occidentali et Qinghai orientali. Temporibus historicis, etiam in Nepalia et Bhutania inveniebantur, sed nunc extincti in ambabus civitatibus putantur.^[1]

Effectus in hominibus

Bos mutus est lacus morborum zoonoticorum originum bacterialium et viralium. Inter tales morbos bacteriales sunt anthrax, botulismus, tetanus, tuberculosis.^[10]
