Whenever a show features or references a desert, savannah or other barren land, odds are good that a bovine cranium will be involved to set the mood. As is often the case, the rest of the skeleton goes unseen.
Often accompanied by cacti. Thirsty Desert is a companion trope.
Compare sister tropes Ribcage Ridge and Sinister Deer Skull.

Wonder Woman (1987): The desert beyond the edges of the Sangtee Empire slave mining operation on "Hope's End" is littered with skulls and skeletons making attempts to escape out into the desert a less appealing option that it otherwise might be. There are also a few within the mining camp, but not many since the deceased are fed to the scavenger worms.

Parodied in the Bojack Horseman episode "The Old Sugarman Place". As Bojack drives through a desert, we see a cow skull with the rest of the skeleton still attached...and it has a wristwatch on its arm, sunglasses in its palm, and the remnants of clothing on its body.

On Rocko's Modern Life, after becoming frustrated with his anthropomorphic food processor (and failing to get rid of it), the food processor attacks Spunky. Rocko decides that this is the last straw, and drives the food processor out into the desert and abandons it there. The food processor walks past a cow skull. It also leaves some bones behind after it eats a vulture.

The season 3 finale of King of the Hill sees Peggy's parachute fail to deploy while skydiving, causing her to crash-land in a barren mud plain. As Hank and other first responders desperately comb the mud for Peggy, Luanne breaks down sobbing when she finds a sun-bleached cow skull◊, which she assumes is all that remains of her aunt.

Kritch Cave is located in Kritch Canyon, the isolated, tract of barren land behind Madison High School. Kritch Cave is only accessible through the rear of the Madison High School lands; its made inaccessible to the rest of the world by Kritch Mountain (in actuality, a tall hill).

The Kaiser of California: John Sutter sees a horse skeleton as he walks across the desert, letting him know just how dangerous the Thirsty Desert is. Sure enough, soon after he has to shoot his own horse when it collapses.

Blood West contains plenty of bovine skulls on poles all over the game, and they're capable of speaking since they're inhabited by Native American spirits. The first NPC you spoke to in the first level is in fact one such skull.

In Nuclear Throne, cattle skulls spawn around the Desert. Being set after the apocalypse, they're mutant cattle - four eyes sockets instead of two.
