3. that reminds me of this song

Vaquinha Mansa (sweet little cow) :)

Vaquinha mansa
Bo carinha contente
Bo boquinha tao doce
Bo sabe e so ranja tranca

That's one of my favorite songs by Cesaria Evora :)

10. This is where we get the words "vaccine," "vaccination" from.

Edward Jenner gave us the first vaccine, which was derived from the COWPOX virus.

4. bovis

bos or bovis in Latin for cow, ox, or bull.

carnero for steer

forda for a cow with calf

la vaca is Spanish for cow, el toro for bull

6. As in bovine.

Perhaps vacca is the Latin vulgate.
