GOD's Variety of Wild Ox



There are many different kinds of oxen. You can clearly see the split hoof on the musk ox above. They also have the split hoof that the Bible speaks about in Deuteronomy 14:6, "You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud."

Many of the wild oxen have been domesticated on farms as the following picture shows. Isaiah 51:20 shares, "Your sons have fainted...like the wild ox caught in a net." I wonder what kind of net they had to catch the ox below!!!


Another wild ox that was almost eradicated in the early western days of the United States was the American Buffalo. Praise the LORD their herds have greatly multiplied due to the protection act!


Another wild ox is the Water Buffalo. Get a "load" of those horns!


I surely would not want to come upon one of them in the wild!



GOD is so amazing in the variety of each species He has created! But GOD's most important creation is man! GOD even created man in His image! (Genesis 1:27) That's how important we are to Him! Even more so, GOD showed how much He Loves us in that He came to earth in Jesus Christ and died for mankind to be reconciled to Him by taking all of our sins upon Him! You can be forgiven! Accept Christ taking your penalty of sin and be saved to His eternal Kingdom where we will be with Him forever! His animals will be there too! Romans 8:21, "The creatures themselves will be liberated from death and decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of GOD."
