Typically a bull animal is a male animal although the "bull" in Bull Sharks refer to both male and female Bull Sharks.

No. A bull is the opposite sex of a cow, and both sexes are of the species known as the Domesticated Bovine (Bos taurus and Bos indicus). A bull is the intact male that is used to breed cows, and a cow is a mature female bovine that gives birth to offspring called calves after being bred by a bull.

Yes and no. When you're referring to a "bull", I assume you mean those ones that bullfighters fight. Those aren't buffalo. They're uncastrated male bovines. But, all male bovine creatures can be referred to as "bulls," so there is a bull buffalo. But the bulls that most people think of (You know, matador, toro toro!Those bulls) aren't buffalo.

Answer 2:

Not necessarily. Buffaloes are, though related, different species from cattle and come in both male (bulls) and female (cows). Generalizing that buffalo are bulls is ignoring the fact that buffalo are set apart from the domesticated bovines due to species differentiation. Bulls are intact (not castrated) males of domestic cattle/bovines, as mentioned above, that are not only popular in the bull fighting ring, but also used for breeding cows and heifers in beef and dairy operations. (Castrated males are called steers.) However, as also mentioned above, the male part of the buffalo species are also called bulls.

Bulls are also males of a variety of other species not exclusive to Family Bovidae: Elephants, caribou, moose, walruses, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, elk/wapiti, wildebeest, bison (also mistakenly called buffalo), etc., are animals that have males that are called bulls.

Yes they do!

A cow gives birth to baby cows, called calves. Some are female and will be called heifers, those that are male will grow into bulls.

No. Though they are of the same species, cows look a bit different than bulls do. Cows are more feminine and often smaller than bulls, whereas bulls are more bigger and masculine-looking, with more muscularity over their necks, shoulders and rumps than what a typical cow would have. Also, not all bulls have horns, and not all cows are polled either. Both cows and bulls can have horns, and both cows and bulls can be polled.

Bulls and cows are the male and female genders of bovines, respectively.
