A true masterpiece of bovine masculinity, the bravado of the Spanish Fighting Bull is no bluff, it is deep in every fiber of his being.

“The Spanish Fighting Bull, also known as the toro bravo, is the most common type of bull used in bullfighting in Madrid. These bulls are specifically bred for the purpose of fighting, and their lineage can be traced back to ancient times. The Spanish Fighting Bull is a powerful and muscular animal, weighing between 1,000 and 1,400 pounds.

“The Spanish Fighting Bull is known for its aggression and strength. These bulls are raised in open pastures and are allowed to roam freely, which contributes to their physical and mental development. They are also trained to fight with a cape and a sword, which prepares them for their role in the bullring.

“In the bullring, the Spanish Fighting Bull is a formidable opponent. It is quick and agile, and it has a tendency to charge at the matador. The matador must use all of his skill and experience to dodge the bull’s horns and maneuver around it.” -Madrid Bullfighting
