@@biodiversidnd4047 Not that weird if you think about it, because in English ox is singular and oxen is plural, thus aurochs is singular and aurochsen is plural, it's just the spelling that makes it seem odd, if it it was spelled aurox and auroxen, then it would make more sense, since the derivation is obviously the same.
Aurochsen are cattle that constitute the genus Bos, there are only four recognized species of aurochs: the †Long-Horned Aurochs (Bos acutifrons), the †Eritrean Aurochs (Bos buaiensis), the Paleotropical Aurochs (Bos namadicus), and the Palearctic Aurochs (Bos primigenius), the latter two are still extant, only in the form of their domesticated descendants, the paleotropical aurochs has eight recognized subspecies: the †Caucasian Aurochs (Bos namadicus caucasicus), the †Turkish Auorchs (Bos namadicus turcicus), the †Arabian Aurochs (Bos namadicus arabicus), the †Saharan Aurochs (Bos namadicus mauritanicus), the †Iranian Aurochs (Bos namadicus iranensis), the †Pakistanian Aurochs (Bos namadicus pakistanicus), the †Indian Aurochs (Bos namadicus namadicus), and the Zebu (Bos namadicus indicus), whereas the palearctic aurochs has fifteen recognized subspecies: the †Caspian Aurochs (Bos primigenius caspicus), the †Himalayan Aurochs (Bos primigenius himalayensis), the †Mongolian Aurochs (Bos primigenius mongolicus), the †Chinese Aurochs (Bos primigenius chinensis), the †Korean Aurochs (Bos primigenius koreensis), the †Siberian Aurochs (Bos primigenius sibiricus), the †Baikal Aurochs (Bos primigenius baicalicus), the †West Russian Aurochs (Bos primigenius russicus), the †Scandinavian Aurochs (Bos primigenius scandinavicus), the †English Aurochs (Bos primigenius englandensis), the †Greek Aurochs (Bos primigenius graecus), the †Italian Aurochs (Bos primigenius italicus), the †Iberian Aurochs (Bos primigenius ibericus), the †Alpine Aurochs (Bos primigenius primigenius), and the Domestic Cattle (Bos primigenius taurus).
Oh you know chillingham are a wild type thrts wot wild cows look like But so are jerseys It depends on regional I didn't know auroch wer related Ir could interbreed i thought it was a separate species like bisonare to Both thrn i fink if yer breeding from throwbacks trying to create an auroch ive seen two gd ones on this one an American one Russian Both wer tan colour but not thr same breed Thrn but maybe like wiv normal cows ther wer dif regional types
I play a crossword game And this animal always pops up and I never heared of it or knew how to pronounce the word now I'm seeing they were extinct in 16 hundreds 🤦♂️
cattle crossed with bison or yak are not only sterile, the genetics go nowhere. this lady doesn't have a clue about ungulate genetics, past or present.
@@NaturalHistoryMuseum I would not normally like to disagree with the Natural History Museum, but Banteng, Bison, Gaur, Water Buffalo and Yaks have all been domesticated and they all surely qualify as cattle, albeit different species.
Always wonder how dumb you have to be to hunt something to extinction. Must have been because of the huge horns people feared believing they were dangerous.
Nah, people dont overhunt something because they "fear" them. While aurochs could be a fearsome animals, so does lions and tigers. People purposely hunt fearsome animals for trophies and glory. You bet, if dragons do exist, people would overhunt them as well

Not going to lie, I didn't know how auroch was pronounced before watching this-
Weirdly, the singular of aurochs is aurochs!

If you can breed them back into existence from extant species - they aren’t a different species.
Oh you know chillingham are a wild type thrts wot wild cows look like
But so are jerseys
It depends on regional
I didn't know auroch wer related
Ir could interbreed i thought it was a separate species like bisonare to
Both thrn i fink if yer breeding from throwbacks trying to create an auroch ive seen two gd ones on this one an American one Russian
Both wer tan colour but not thr same breed
Thrn but maybe like wiv normal cows ther wer dif regional types

Aurochs are not the only one type of cattle to be domesticated i am right?
That's correct. You might be interested to read www.cambridgeblog.org/2016/02/cattle-domestication-from-aurochs-to-cow/
