Combine the Chianina with the Texas Longhorn and you get a totally independent animal that doesn’t need humans, breeds easily, grows quickly, their average size is 2000-2500 for cows and 2800-3000 for bulls, they are draught tolerant and do well even when grazing is bad, and they have giant horns… both the Longhorn and the Chianina, in my opinion, are simply slightly different epigenetic expressions - and both are still Auroch. The big difference is that Aurochs were claimed to go on rampages. We have zero idea how the Chianina or the Longhorn would act if they weren’t used to humans and if multiple bulls existed in the same herd - those 2 factors combined would likely have them very rampagey if they suddenly came across human settlements and got spooked.
Ever wonder how the whole process of Bullfighting started? The Auroch was noted throughout antiquity for its ferocity, and it's aggressiveness towards People. It was hunted for it's meat, hide, hooves, bones and horns of course; but that was just the icing on the cake of successfully facing and killing 2 tons of hate, hell, and discontent that would have liked nothing more than to grind you into a muddy paste. Some animals are best left extinct.
If anyone has any means at all to bring back the true Aurochs it would make me happy! It's one of my greatest dreams in the world Imaginære the greatest Bovine in history
I think they the coloration and the horns right but it’s still missing the shoulder mussels, it looks too much like a domesticated cattle. If you look at bison, guars or buffalos you can also see that wild cows normally keep their heads lower and have higher shoulders.
Bison have vertical " ribs " over their shoulders that makes it look like they are carrying the head lower , not sure about buffalo or gaur Bison and buffalo have adapted to grazing short grass , carrying the head lower . The European wisent ( adapted to forest foraging ) carry their heads higher than bison , which are each other's closest relative
Cattle were domesticated twice independently. 1. At Nabta Playa in Africa (southern Libya/West Sudan) 2. At Indus Valley in Pakistan/northern India. Europe DID.NOT domesticate cattle. Europeans are using their current hegemony to appropriate human achievement with respect to pigs, horses, dogs, cattle, first use of iron, ancient Egyptians etc.

The Auroch is (Bos primigenius), Cattle has evolved to be (Bos taurus), they are gone.

Aurochs probably inspired the Minotaur in ancient Greek mythology, as well as Minoan bull-leaping.

Do believe you know what you are talking about Sir !
The Spanish "Miura" cattle are the closest descendants today.
I understand HECK cattle are extremely dangerous and a UK farmer had to destroy his herd due to the dangers.
The danger is the point if you're trying to replicate behavior. All historical records say that Aurochs were incredibly aggressive.
And tasty.
@@philipschienbein6067 Probably behaved like the African buffalo which is extremely dangerous even if it feels slightly threatened .

So this is what The Greeks were hunting during the time of The Odysseus
They were the most feared of all animals in Greece. More so than lions, boars or wolves.

Oh hell yeah 🥩🥩🥩🍽️🤤
Well, not that extinct. We all must have met, in our personal of professional lives, great bovines from a bygone age
The first genetically modified food. We chose the most gentle ones to breed
Would be amazing if we could re create this species ,and seed it through ,its natrual, habitat,great looking animal, also would make good eating.!

They are called Tur up in Carpathian Mountains. The rivers and settlements are called after them.
Tur - Taurus.

isn’t it also likely that aurochs became subsumed into the domestic cattle population? that’s not exactly extinction.
Domestic cattle ARE aurochs, or descended from them. They are the same species.
The voice really bothers me: is this AI or computer? Why does it say “ B.O.S” instead of “bos” for the species name? Creepy

you're mistaken .. like a dodo is to a peacock .. The bone structure etc is just irreplaceable .. Bovines can never be turned into aurochs
