Half-cow

Half-cow (Homo taurus, moobloom variant: Homo taraxacum taurus). This species is born of man and cow. Only one occurence of a half-cow has been documented in both Rathnir and Eldham, giving reason to believe that this is rare species.

Origin and genes
As mentioned, half-cows are born of a human and a cow. Given that one of each race procreates it will result in a half-cow. (see genetic diagram below)

Appearance
Half-cow’s have the thick skin and face of a cow and can have horns and tails like the cow. The half cow also has the arms and legs of a human and matches their brain and intelligence. On average half-cows weigh slightly more than humans and gain muscles easier.

Half-moobloom (Homo taraxacum taurus)
Whilst the moobloom variant is a subspecies of the half-cw and possesses all the same traits as the half-cow with only a slight change in their appearance and dna. Half-booblooms have flowers growing out of their back and hair, and come in a variety of colours matching the flower. Due to this green addiction, half-moobloms, like mooblooms, can photosynthesize using the flowers on their body and the water they drink.

Digestive system
Whilst half-cows have the same mouth anatomy as humans, allowing them to chew and bite through the same things as humans, their digestive system is the same as a cow. Half-cows, like regular cows, have one stomach with four compartments allowing them to break down and digest things that humans could not do properly such as grass.

Senses
The placement of a half-cow’s eyes, similar to that of a cow, allows them to see 330°, compared to the humans 140°.

Like cows, half cows use their sense of smell to "expand" on information detected by other sensory modalities. However, in the case of social and reproductive behaviours, their sense of smell is a key source of information.
