I'm my hometown, there's a place where students will go to watch the sunset and the cows across the street will come up to their fence for pets

Now I don't have any pictures of that, so please take this picture of a cow planter I saw at Walmart

i’m sure you’ve mentioned it before but can you explain why aurochs are extinct now. also if they were still around today, do you think we’d use them for a specific purpose? / what would you use them for

Avatar

hihii! its a tale as old as time unfortunately.. habitat loss and overhunting frm humans eventually drove the aurochs 2 extinction :(

it was a long, long, long time ago, in the 17th century (ovr 300 years!) ! and tho i love and miss the aurochs deeply we have lots of big bovines that fill their ecological niche, like various types of buffalo and gaur!

im not super sure that we would use aurochs for anything as they were described as super big and super violent, and we already have domestic cattle which are descended from them! but its neat to look back at where they came from, you know?

I respect and admire the cowies but may I ask of you: who decided first to respect and admire the cowies? When did people say, hmm. Cowie, let's you and me team up to do things together?

(I mean I know it was your direct ancestor obviously but how did it happen?)

cattle were domesticated around 10,000 years ago!! i believe they were one of the first domesticated animals, after sheep and goats, so theyve been with us for a long, long time now!

they were actually domesticated twice! once in turkey/the levant/iran, and once in pakistan! both groups of people saw these big fellas walking around...

.. and went "ah! friends!". we formed a symbiotic relationship with eachother, feeding eachother and helping to ensure eachothers lineage continued! cattle and people best friends forever!

10,000 years later, those ancient bovines have evolved into these lovely guys! the zebu cattle and the taurine cattle!

legends say that cattle are still out there somewhere... if u look...
