1920s Czech Taxidermy Cow Tur Domácí Bos Taurus Hind Leg Bone Classroom Study

About the Item

Very interesting early 20th Century Czech made taxidermy cow "Tur Domácí Bos Taurus" hind leg for classroom study, probably used at a University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The leg is at least a hundred years old, you can see by the way it is fixed together (the curly iron thread) and the surface ware of the real bones, it is smooth and yellowish. The iron and wood holder however is probably aded very recently (my guess is in the 80s 90s). Tur Domácí Bos Taurus (which is Czech and Latin for domestic bovine, or domestic cow) is an even-toed ungulate from the genus Bos of the bovine family. The bovine is the domesticated descendant of the aurochs (Bos primigenius), which has been extinct since the Middle Ages. The scientific name of the domesticated bovine was published as Bos taurus in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus. However, many other authors do not regard the bovine as a separate species, but as a domesticated subspecies of the aurochs.
