What is an "ox"?
An ox is a large and powerful domesticated mammal that is used for work such as plowing fields or pulling carts, and is typically a castrated male of the cattle species. They have been used by humans for thousands of years and are known for their strength and endurance. Owing to their gentle nature and easy maintenance, oxen are still used in some parts of the world for farming and transportation purposes, particularly in areas where machinery is not available or affordable.
