One kilometer away from this is another reservation with european bisons and horses.

If you wanna see European bison then look it up they didn't go extinct

@CrappyKidForever Its a human thing. Don't try to understand you will only get a headack.

Probably look quite like bos indicus since in the cave art they had small hump.

@Shivam Joshi I was referring to its genetically closest relative. Bos Primigenus Indicus subspecies are the one to pass down the zebu Genes making it their closest ancestor. According to taxonomy the Indicine cattle like zebu etc today are direct descendants of the indian Auroch.

@@rachdarastrix5251 🤔🤔👉 What's a "headack"?? Is it the technical term for the head of Holger Färber's wiener?Are you a wiener scientist? That MUST be the answer! 🤔 👉👉 Anyway, the ancient animals depicted in the old cave paintings had "different horns" because they werent really cattle to begin with! The paintings were much older than originally thought, more like 260,000,000 years old, as opposed to 1,000 years as originally assumed. Back then the early proto-people lived among giant horned horses! That's why the cattle paintings looked wrong, because they were actually ancient were-horses! 👍😁👌

@@HighlanderNorth1 Sound it out sausage lover.

Absolutely!

YES.....! .

Just add some Texas Longhorn genes to the mix and you’ll get some very feisty beasts!

@@dr.froghopper6711 Just a tad of Texas shorthorn too (Da dum tsk)

There are no large land-based predators anymore. The large predators of the aurocks time are all gone. Its also more likely that the animals would domesticate themselves natural due to the lack of viable habitat and the domestic gene already being present.

They would need to evolve in nature. Controlled breeding by humans won't completely resurrect the aurochs.

Where are these cattle today

I keep reading what these cattle are not. But what are they? There not Aurochs and they’re not the heck cattle. What are they then?

try also way to short as bulls are 6 feet at the shoulders

Give them a few years they will eventually turn into one

Yeah. There was a breeding program funded by members lf the Nazi regime, but this herd could have been bred from a different breeding program. Nonetheless, they are all a type of domesticated cattle being bred to become feral

@DHCETC I should think so! I was very much against bringing back woolfes to Germany (but who listenes to plain me), and they have had nothing but trouble from them, and damage to the sheep farmers, also financial ruin to some, because of that. Stupid isn't even the word! I've heard they want to bring back wild bears to western Europe as well. Totally idiotic, but most of all even more dangerous, than woolfes

@JK Rai - The Nazi's were following a different path with a different strain/s. The results of that work were the "Heck" breed. I don't know that much about Heck cattle, but I've heard the results leave a lot to be desired - too much aggression and not enough genetic similarities.

@@unavitadellamusica I so agree. In America, they're bringing back all the big predators. We thinned them iut for a reason. When I raised my kids, letting them play in the woods was common. Now, I wouldn't let them until they were old enough for firearms.

@@YSLRD unfortunately, in Germany firearms are forbidden to be owned just by anyone. Only certain induviduals (like forest rangers) are allowed to have and use them, in a restricted way. The sheep farmers may have them, but are forbidden to shoot any woolf, even if it attacks/steels their sheep, because it is a protected species now there. Could there be anything more idiotic?

not possible dna only survives for a few million years

@@pigeonjohns740 lol dont act like you don't want to see a T-Rex

I think it would be a greater enemy for farmers.Elephant sized big cats? what the?

Those are not Heck cattle. But still no Aurochs either.

Its because of extinction,they become smaller for now because I've seen them in our area and i wouldn't let them seen by anyone

@@ASCENDED_EXE i would advise you to stop doing so much peyote

This is not the heck cattle. We don´t work with hecks. This is the Tauros. At its birth stood the Dutch Taurus foundation and Wageningen University.

Tauros? Like the Pokemon?

If you were built like this bull you wouldn't be afraid.

@Bob Men killed them all.. So.. Men also kill the largest animal on Earth , the Blue Whale And the aurorch has already extinct , its a remake and have not reached the original size of that men-murdered animal yet, at least 30-50cm “smaller” than the original

I wonder why he wondered. What was he wondering about? I wonder. Incidentally, dams are female! Must have been a cow.

TheTop HatNerd well those animals actually died off because of weather it got into a ice age and their grass that they feed on was no longer available so personally I don’t think they should be brought back

Oh yeah, can't wait for some MEGALOCEROS!

Um, are you referring to the Irish elk, an extinct species of deer that once roamed or something or what

@@lukespence-leigh8734 you are trying to sound smart, but you really sound like you have th biggest ego known to man

I’m pretty sure I heard an geneticist say that it wasn’t possible (and the ethics are in question) at this moment. Interesting this isn’t the first time someone tried. One of hitlers right hand scientists/genetics men and his brother (I believe) tried to make an auroch and basically achieved some aesthetic success but that seems to be it. (He is famous but I can’t remember the name). I think he attempted a equine as well and gave it his name. I think someone said his creation were no more than cows that look like aurochs.

@@swilson5320 Heck is the name. Lutz and Heinz Heck. They were brothers and owners of zoos in Berlin and Munich, and attempted to re-create the Auerochs by mixing ancient breeds. They collected primitive breeds from southern Europe (some of them still in use for that purpose) as well as modern breeds without obvious similarities to ancient aurochsen. They did have succes to a degree, especially regarding coat colour. But horns were still too short and thin, they were too small overall and lacked other typical features the Aurochs had. Nontheless they claimed to have been succesful in re-creating the true Aurochs, partly because in that time nobody really knew how the Aurochs looked like. The outcome, heck cattle, were released in some areas, but most fell victim to the war. heck horse were also created, they look similar to konik horses. But this isn't a genetic test exactly. It's not the attempt to re-create the Aurochs exactly and with the same genetics, but to create a similar looking breed of wild cattle that may replace it in nature. Aurochsen were very important for shaping European and Asian ecosystems, thus the plan is to create a breed that can fill this now empty niche.

Hip-Hop-Huhn cool beans. Thanks for the information!

@@swilson5320 You're welcome mate

Hip-Hop-Huhn Heck cattle. Look smaller an Aurochs

Neither. Two groups are attempting a more scientific method of back breeding. One started with Heck cattle and attempting to breed out some genes and breed in others to make them more like the original, and the other started from scratch. Not sure which this is.

@@joer8854 Based on the description naming the Taurus Foundation, I think this is the non-Heck project.

Almost there, we need to fix some points in morphology and that's it

@@Vegetarianbull 🐮💙⭐️❤️

Quite a view! You can hear, however, that modern life isn't far off. The sound of traffic, the way it carries for miles on a foggy morning, can be distinctly heard.

Martial Kintu it is a real aurochs but not like full blooded, like the mom is probably a cow instead of an actual aurochs

Mr Mister well it’s more complicated and more close to the actual thing than what this man thinks. The concept is using breeds that have relation to the extinct species and selecting the desired characteristics to bring the extinct species back, sometimes species that aren’t related but that have common physical and genetically traits will be used to, I don’t know if that’s also used in the aurochs. To keep it simple, just imagine they grab a bunch of your great grandfather descendants and marry them so that the offspring basically is genetically and physically as close as possible to your great grandfather (obviously not such risk of inbreeding as would be happening in the example I’m giving).

@@juandavidrestrepoduran6007 More close to the actual thing than what this man thinks?? Seriously how do you know what this man thinks?? This is an attempt to achieve an animal breed with a phenotype that resembles a wild type ancestor, it's not the actual ancestor. So the OP comment stands, this is not a real auroch.

Aurochs are the ancestors of domesticated cattle so they are very closely related so it's not that hard to bring the trates of the aurochs back

@@antsfinland2760 It´s harder than you think (but yes, we can recreate something relatively similar).

Who needs food I would rather have plentiful aurochs roaming highways

The European lion.

Wolves and bears can work well on them. And if it's not enough, humans can be the third predator.

@Shivam Joshi Cave lions went extinct 30 000 years ago, not 200 000 lol.

Scottish terriers

Humans?? We're a top predator.

None of the animals you mentioned died out because of human activity, that's an old myth that's been debunked long ago.

@@ayoubm198 i agree

They're already back.

Look up Heck cattle (look like aurochs) and heck horses (a recreation of tarpans)

@@masonk.wilson538 Heck cattle don't look like these, and these aren't full copies of aurochs. Haven't seen enough heck horses yet, but I don't think they match real wild horses.

Kevin konik horses are better, btw i think these horses are exmoor ponied

Hm they're one of the breeds that were bred into the Heck

Technically not really that far away. Aurochs are the ancestors of domesticated cattle so when speaking about dna they are already like 99%.

@@antsfinland2760 That's not saying much buddy... Man and chimp have 99% same DNA as well. So yeah, this cattle is about as close to a auroch as a chimp is to a human... Lol

@@Quacklebush I wouldn't say so... Chimps can't breed with humans for example, but aurochs and domestic cattle could. They are the same species, but the domesticated cattle is a different sub-species For example canis lupus familiaris (which is the scientific name for the dog) and canis lupus lupus (scientific name for the eurasian wolf) are the same species of grey wolf (canis lupus). Just different sub-species. The red wolf for example is canis rufus, they are closely related to grey wolves, but not the same species. This is the same with auroch and domestic cattle

@@antsfinland2760 Wow I was making a joke... You really felt the need to explain all that? You're a fucking idiot.

@@Quacklebush Well ooh sorry it sounded like you weren't joking. It sounded like you weren't agreeing with me. But if you were joking... well I don't see the joke. Is it the "lol"?

I mean probably, i'm sure the animal would be aware of its size and capability at least

I think that is the point. For these animals to survive in the wild, the adults have to be fierce enough to protect the young from wolves. You don't want a docile animal in that environment.

​@@sanjivjhangiani3243There are no predators, so these cattle will always be domesticated

American bison are aggressive, but they are managed ok. Brown bears are aggressive but we can live with them, and they attract plenty of tourists.

It is breed to look like the ancient aurochs although genetically it is not.

Thanks, I have little knowledge of the aurochs actually

@@apextroll -Yes, it is meant to look like the extinct aurochs, but genetically is not, although that might be able to be changed, if they use aurochs DNA from fossil bones...

@@apextroll Well the aurochs are predecessors of domestic cows, so most of the breeds wear the genes. Same like domestic dog has 99 % of the the genes of wolf predecessor.

@@adutsov Agreed, I could have worded that better.

I bet they taste even better mmmmm

Ok

Before I ask who Joe is I wanted to say I do agree with you. Compared to the original heck cattles these do seen in my opinion closer looking hopefully with more years left alone they may revert further back.

Now for the question who is Joe?

Helloooooooo fellow Metallica fan lol

And Justice For All yessir

The Pyrenean ibex was the first actually in the year 2000.

Paul Homsy well the problem there is finding someone brace enough to stand next to one.

They don´t look the the aurochs, regardless of their size.

Yeah. That bull if he were for sale would bring in a good amount of money but since he and his herd are part of a resurrection of a species he'll be better out there in the woods.

These specimens look similar. The massive shoulders and horn shape.

But the naturally aggressive attitudes?

These guys don't look agressive, they appear contented.

Exactly !

Aurochs weren't aggressive nor scared thowards human. It's a common misconception

Yes, they compared the Aurochs DNA with various breeds, then selected certain breeds that fit the description in both appearance and behaviour and through selective breeding managed to back breed them as close as this, even though it's not perfect yet. Just google the Tauros Programme, that's the name of the whole process.

Yes backbreeding

YamiKisara Yami, do they contain a fragment of bulls that contained some auroch's DNA? I know that some breeds of bulls in India and Germany contain some of their DNA. Also something about a nazi breeding effort, bulls too violent, then kaboom, death.

Long story short they didnt bring these guys back. These are Long Horns from Texas lol

They are animals from the back breeding program of the Dutch Tauros Foundation.

Longhorns aren't that size. It's an Auroch , most definitely

@@donnajones6306 leave it to the Dutch; they do genetics on all things, since the 1500's, when aurochs were still around. these look body type more like Aurochs than any domestic cattle I've ever seen, and I've seen them all.

@@donnajones6306 There's nothing to reliably indicate scale, so I don't see how you can be so sure about their size.

I mean the scientist world was thinking of bringing them back now and thatthere were a couple brothers in wwii that had actually succeeded in getting in the right direction and laid the foundation for that only the experiments died with them as well as the notes and all as far as I know. There's a RU-vid video I'd seen recently that was about that

They're not ready yet. It's an ongoing project. Supposedly the plan is to have the final product by 2025. I do agree though, the real aurochs are supposed to be waaay larger than that. Like the size of a moose or something.

Impossible, and they'd die from heat strokes anyway.

Wth would you want to bring back th saber tooth tiger for?

@@user-qx8vo8dz2w I want to see all of them back even the Terror Birds. I would like to watch videos of a Terror Bird devouring a saber tooth.

Grass?

Trees?

I'm looking at the trees and the bushes, they're over a meter tall for sure. I don't think they quite get to 1.8 meters yet, though.

stop thinking about your food on the table pls :/

@@Avatrass Yes, these aren't real aurochsen, they are extinct and will never come back like they were. These are so-called "Tauros-cattle", the outcome of some "backbreeding" projects, which aren't over now. They try to improve the animals further into the direction of real aurochsen, so they once truly will look like the real aurochs, but it never will be a real aurochs again tough. This specific herd looks like it had a great influence by Spanish landrace breeds, especially Sayaguesa.

Avatrass it’s the tauros programme search it up please

Yes.

And size

Though the longhorns could make a good substitute

According to what I read about them the breeds they started using were from the Iberian Peninsula which is what the longhorn breed originated from.

Hey dumb fuck these are first generations and they used long horns to breed them... Differ enormously in type??? Lol fucking idiot

Yes, you are right. They are not Texas Longhorns. It is a backbred breed called Tauros.

Toby & Jenny longhorns are the closest relatives to the Aurocks.

Looks nothing like a longhorn other than being a bovine. If you feel that way simply because these cattle have horns I would suggest some google time. Longhorns will usually have a horn spread in the range of 6-8ft.

@@myprophet1 well, dident you know there 4 types of long horns 1piney woods 2florda cracker 3normal texas long horns 4cornanty I hope I spilled the last one right But they did use long horns in the mix breading of this breed.
