Here are the scientific names for the animals you mentioned:

Dog: Canis lupus familiaris
Cat: Felis catus (or Felis silvestris catus)
Buffalo: Syncerus caffer (African buffalo)
Fox: Vulpes vulpes (Red fox, commonly referred to)
Cow: Bos taurus (Domesticated cattle)
Ox: Bos taurus (same as cow, as oxen are domesticated cattle used as draft animals)
These scientific names use Latin binomial nomenclature, with the first word (genus) capitalized and the second (species) in lowercase.
