Awesome video, thank you so much! One detail: recently American Bison have also been reeintroduced into the Mexican state of Coahulia.
They have also been brought to Sakha/Yakutia and other places in Eastern Siberia
That's interesting, i'm from the state next to Coahuila (Nuevo León) and i don't know they had been reintroduced!
Also reintroduced into Chihuahua State and historically found south to Durango State.
@@KateeAngel Wouldn't they have been the European Bison?
@@Hashishin13American Bison (especially Wood Bison) are closer to the Steppe Bison in Siberia. If you look at a map it makes sense, Yakutia is closer to Alaska than it is to Poland.
Yak are becoming popular in Montana, North Dakota, Alaska and other cold states. In Alaska their wool has people raising them with Llama and Alpaca, even musk ox to experiment with fiber blends to fend off Arctic level cold.
also yak milk apparently makes great butter
Isn't the Musk Ox actually a goat?
@@fatdaddy1996
Of the goat family, yes.
I case there was confusion:
OP didn't mean people were crossing the two species.
They meant people were keeping Llama, Alpaka, Musk Ox and Yak for wool and then mixed the wool after sheering.
@vhe9560, there is no goat family, muskoxen and goats both belong to the family Bovidae, which is the largest and most diverse family of hoofed mammals, goats are actually more closely related to cattle than either are to the muskox.
@@indyreno2933
Ah, thank you for correcting me.
My main intention was to explain what OP meant regarding their wool. And that there is no crossing of Musk Oxen with the other species by breeding. So I didn't look up the exact relations before commenting. Should have done that.
Thanks again. 👍
Would love if you eventually made a video on all the world's wild pigs.
Yes I want that!
Me too.
I'm in!
Yes!!!!!
Haha I love you guys enthusiasm
Awesome video! As someone who’s grown up around North American cattle species and bison, it was super cool to learn about quite a few cattle species I had never heard of before! Keep up the great work, I hope your channel continues to grow because you deserve it!!
It's a shame that the ancestors of modern domesticated cattle are extinct. It is good to know there are conservation groups breeding Auroch-like taurine cattle & releasing them back in the wild. I wonder if the same can be done for the zebu. I have heard that feral zebu were introduced to India's Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary to entice rare native predators, such as the Asiatic lion.
Kankrej breed of zebu cattle is the closest we have to the extinct Indian Aurochs
Since we rely on these animals we need took more of an effort to preserve the wild ones and not lose them like the Aurochs.
I find it weird though that he didn't single out the Holstein breed. It is kind of what most people think of when they hear "cow". Holstein is the border region between Germany and Denmark and they fought several wars over it. It was conquered by Prussia during the wars of unification in 1870 and remained part of Germany all the way till it was given back to Denmark at the end of WW2.
I love cattle I’m a wetland ecologist and actually focus my study on turtles but I have always had a soft spot for cattle cause I grew up around them and spent a lot of my undergraduate studying them so I love these guys
I had the unique pleasure of working with one of the lead tiger biologists of Bhutan. He was very comfortable working with tigers, but said the one time he had caught a Gaur in a live trap, he was too scared to go near it. I got to analyze some camera trap images of Gaur and they are terrifying and incredible to watch, we caught one chasing an elephant.
Gaur. I have seen them in the Nilgiri Mountains in South India at altitudes around 2000m/6000ft. They are huge and look menacing. They roam around in small groups on tea estates.
they are the largest bovines...and probably the most dangerous too. They are disproportionately agile for their size...imagine a mid size rhino being agile like an antelope. Add to that their unpredictable mood. I live not very far from one of their largest inhabitats here in Terai region. While I once saw them from afar, my parents had a terrifying experience when they almost got attacked by one while they waited inside a car and the car slowly backed up. But, there are numerous incidents where they have attacked cars and even toppled them.
@@Amuzic I saw a movie years ago that took place in India. One scene was of a gaur rummaging around in the family garden at dusk. If I recall correctly, the people had to wait inside - or maybe in their car - until it left on its own. It looked terrifying and it was just a movie! 😳 I had no idea what the animal was called until much later when I happened upon it in a television program. (Wish I could remember the name of the film.)
Sure. But really I have seen zero footage of people working with near tiger. They seem much more wild than lion.
Look at southern India where they routinely hunt humans. Here they even ambush humans travelling along roads on scooters.
1:38 I love the transition from black to white yak. Well done.
Super interesting video! I do think it’s important to mention that the American Bison were purposely hunted to extinction to get rid of the tribes that depended on them though.
Really‽ I didn't know that! That seems really cruel, but oddly fitting for colonialists...
No, they just considered it an added bonus of taking away a large part of their diet and helping to starve some additional people out to further settle western lands with Northwestern European settlers. If we wanted to eradicate them entirely, then I’m pretty sure we would have easily done so by not giving them ‘government rations’ (low quality, fatty foods) when they were put on reservations. It was one of the reasons they killed the buffalos, yeah, but not the number one reason. We could have very easily exterminated them in the end of the 1800s and early 1900s in less than 20 years. Only the Navajo had any sort of moderate autonomy, similarity to this day. They could have been put on those reservations (as they were), then modern mass extermination methods/firing squads and other industrial machinery used to facilitate it. Chose to no longer carry out such events after the Indian Wars ended in the 1880s (1890, technically). They then chose to Westernize and assimilate them to wear Western European style clothing, have a Europeanized diet, live in European settler-style housing, speak English, practice a Europeanized version of Christianity (mainly Protestantism and Roman Catholicism), practice European-settler brought holidays, etc.
@@SouffleDude_256
Not reality. Only helped to add more deaths to the toll. Would have been able to entirely ‘exterminate’ the population in 20 years maximum if they really wanted to with modern industrial machinery and mass execution methods after they put them on reservations, making them entirely at the mercy of the US. They chose to not do so after the end of the Indian Wars post-1880s.
@@SouffleDude_256yep that sounds like a classic, almost reminds me of WW2 with Russia burning their own cities to slow down the germans
Also, ranchers wanted the bison gone so they could graze their own cattle. Farmers wanted them gone so they could plow up the prairie and plant crops. The US government wanted them exterminated in order to starve out the Native Plains Indian tribes and take their lands and exploit their resources. Finally the expanding railroads wanted them gone because big free roaming animals were a hazard to speeding 🚂 trains .
Thanks for a fun and interesting video.
For pure cuteness and friendliness, I'm a fan of the very shaggy Highland breed from Scotland.
This channel deserves a million subscribers!! Excellent video, as always!! 🐮
Couldn’t agree more
Yak, Gaur (beast), water buffalo, zebu found in India 🇮🇳
Excellent video. Informative, and the footage was spectacular as always.
This was a really good video. I just wanted to point something out in regards to our buffalo here in the U.S.
Their numbers did not decline only due to overhunting. They were deliberately slaughtered - massacred by the thousands - as a tactic by colonists, government agents and military specifically BECAUSE our indigenous plains people relied so much on them. They were slaughtered to try and destroy indigenous tribes on the plains.
I'm sure overhunting contributed, but it was by NO means the primary cause.
Speaks the truth / facts
I remember being taught about it in history class back in grade school, and they showed us a picture of a cowboy standing atop a mountain of bison skulls-it must have been nearly a thousand skulls in just that picture alone.
The bison hunting of the 1800s were essentially a wide-scale extermination campaign, and they nearly drove the American Bison to extinction.
I read something like "Every buffalo killed is an Indian gone"
@@asomethingratheras an Indian I can confirm its game over when our buffalos are gone
I'm an Indian from India btw but this still makes sense to me 😂
@@dv9239 you got cows close enough
Wow! Thank you. I subscribed because it is the first video that explains cattle like it should be!
I'm a farm boy and you are amazing!
I am going to binge watch your videos. Thanks so much!
Bovines of all sorts have always been some of my most favorite animals. I feel like they are incredibly underrated animals. My all time favorite probably has to be the Cape Buffalo, but make no mistake, i love them all. 💖 Thank you for this video!!!
Fr me too, and they’re absolute tanks 💪
@@understanding77 💖💖💖
Absolutely awesome, informative video!
No idea I needed to know about different species of cattle but now I do and I’m so glad I got to watch this. Fascinating
Superb work.Thank you!
Fun fact: Buffalo bill was actually a show that happened after the frontier closed to reiterate the conquering of the frontier. And most cowboys were not the lonesome explorers that one might think of. Being in the cattle business was hard labor.
Buffalo Bill was a man. Bill Cody. The wild west show was just a show with all these old out of work soldiers, as well as Sitting Bull, who was a friend, and Black Elk, who was known at the time as knowledgeable about most Oglala dances and believe it or not, business. Black Elk had managed a general store from his early teens on up, and had a good mind for organizing. I know, I was surprised too, but a healer can also be practical. But he started it for economic purposes, and it happened to also be educational. Whoever you are, if you're from a country that wouldn't have Buffalo Bill in your history books, I get that. But really, when talking about real people, it's better to look up the actual information.
@@Hollylivengood Eh? Just learned it in American history class? My teacher must be misinforming? My bad lol thanks for correcting
And there are still cowboys, which everyone forgets. A lot of the ranchers around the big national parks lease park land and it's all free range. No fences. So they have to have cowboys to keep the herd together.
@@Hollylivengood Yes, I did not mean to imply that either. I was mostly talking about the time period.
@@joeschmoe8320 I don’t believe I got that wrong?? I completely understand cowboys and pioneers were two different people. I talked about cowboy jobs at the end of my comment. I do recognize i was wrong about the history of Buffalo Bill though.
very good video, keep it up. hope you get to 1,000,000, you deserve it
Preserve wild cattle before too late 🙏🏿
Thank you for your time for common good
No more deforestation 🦚🌳🪷
Why prevent deforestation as a strategy to save wild cattle?
Most wild cattle prefer grasslands over forested areas.
If you really want to help wild cattle, give them a prairie or steppe.
Awesome~👍
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Informative!
*Thank you for an amazing video, it provided me with a lot of valuable information*
Thank you. A wonderful video.
Such a gorgeous family of animals
YES! Oh my gosh I'm so happy, cattle are my favorites!!
This video is great!! I love learning about cattle. I never knew of the saola.
Great video
Outstanding video thank you!!
Excellent!
More I watch, more gratefulness I have abt you man. So good and amazing quality videos ❤
I regularly watch your videos. Your Topic selection is great, specially unknown topics like species of fox,cattle etc. Love from Bangladesh. 🇧🇩
cuando veo videos de este canal el tiempo se pasa volando
Very interesting. Thank you for making this
Most enjoyable 👍
Was hoping you’d mention the wild cattle of Chillingham UK.
Found them fascinating on a visit.
Thank you for covering Wild cattle and their domesticated counterparts.
Very interesting. Thank You
Excellent video 😊
Literally yesterday I was watching you and then I was wondering about a video about cattle then today you released one
I had no idea there were so many different kinds! Fascinating, thanks! Love some of those African ones with the huge horns 🤩
“Ginormous” used as a scientific term…I love it!
Thanks for including the metric system!!! Many non-Americans will be grateful not to have to google all these numbers. Great video :)
I live for these videos
🙏🏾❤️
you and me both, friend
Gaur is my favourite found in India, bodybuilder with eating Grass ❤
Did you know that the gaur, banteng, and kouprey all belong to the genus Bibos as they are most similar to each other.
Awesome video!
This is one of the most interesting videos I've seen in ages! Thank you for this really great information, presented in such a professional, yet entertaining way! I feel very well-informed about cattle, now.😀
What a coincidence!! Just today a huge gaur strayed in our town, and this video is in my suggestions.
Very good
this video is the defination of awesome
I love every single one of them
What a marvellous video. There are some majestic and beautiful animals. We not have a small herd of European bison in the UK.
"...we now have..."?
I appreciate these videos where it focuses on the animal in its current form and use.
Buffalo domestication was started in India and cow milk is famous in every religious events in India of Hindu
We also have thousands of feral asian buffalo in Northern Australia 🇦🇺
Super interesting!❤
Love how you included the original cowboys of the southwest. Both countries still have "cowboy" culture and have the same sad song of the music.
Good video to help me calm my racing brain before bed.
Thanks for information, Its really useful for us ..
fantastic video
It was not Mexico but Spain (who owned Mexico at the time) which started much of the American cattle industry in the West and South, including those in Texas. The Spanish brought sheep, cows, and horses to the Missions they opened up all around New Spain. Florida was the first state in the US to have cows and it was also a Spanish territory and introduced by the Spanish. Criollo cattle for the most part have been replaced by other European and Zebuine breeds.
At what time ? he clearly said in the 19th century, Mexico achieved its independence from Spain in 1821, which it’s still part of the 19th century. Yes the Spanish were the ones who brought horses, cattle sheep etc.. to the Americas that correct.
🤠
I love that you talked about vaqueros in the North American section! What a great video
This was a very amoosing video (sorry).
By the way, can you cover cetaceans sometimes in nearby future? I think they're among the most intriguing animals in the world with some really cool adaptations.
A very informative video on the origins of cattle worldwide 👏👏👏🇨🇮
Come on, people, hit that like-button! This guy's videos are great!
Good video to help me and other people to know about the differences kind of animals follow the different places or different area!OK I love your videos!
good video
Very interesting.
I couldn’t help but notice- Anoas look and move just like mouse deer!
Great video! And you said Białowieża almost perfect, respect for that! Żubry are our Polish pride
"75,000,000 bovine livestock in the EU" alone, and the most numerous wild bovine species (which I assume is the African Buffalo, although slightly outnumbered by captive Bison) has about 400,000 ... we created a rather absurd world.
I hope I'll soon get the opportunity to see some wild European Bison (before the bureaucrats decide they don't belong in Germany). I did run into one of those cow herds in the alps last year when hiking, that was quite the experience 😅very calm and curious. And weirdly "polite" when one of the bigger ones decided they've had enough and started to gently push me. "Not meaning to be rude, but we got some grazing and ruminating to do if you don't mind, have nice day."
Wowwww. I have been researching about Cattle & their origins. It video has easened my research. Just a quick question, what are the origins of the Ankole Cattle? And from which "wild Cattle" do they originate from? It was clear in the video
This video turned out to be more interesting than I thought.
I love your videos. They'e well narated, good b roll and I don't understand why you haven't hit 1M followers yet?
The every species of... series is my favourite. I dare you to do every species of shark. Probably too big of a job?
Fantastic video in all ways but the most important moment is the anoa wearing a leaf as a hat 😊
I want to see lots more on cattle. I grew up in northland NZ where Angus, Hereford and black and white face were raised for meat production. These cattle can be left in large undeveloped land blocks and mustered in when needed.
This video left me with more questions than answers. We moved between wild species and domestics and left out so much information.
I did appreciate it but want more 😂
17:34 "There is something odd about these cattle".
ETA: Love the title in the thumbnail.
glad to hear you mention beffalo had a comment ready about them. They smell terrible but can be very docile around certain folks.
Holy cow 😮
The Maasai culture even my teachers have taught about in elementary school, especially around the forms for different economics and forms of currency like cattle.
However, I grew up with water buffaloes. In my country the smaller ones are more common but seeing the gigantic ones is a rare and almost happens on occasion. They were one of the first huge animals I have ever seen. No matter which animal, they also make large piles of poop which are surprising easy to clean up when it dries.
The Maasai place massive importance on ownership of cattle. After the 9/11 attacks, they sent 14 cattle to America as a condolence gift
@@kadenstimpson3167 what a wonderful gift! Thank you, Maasai!
Having passed through some 40 countries back in the 70's I was witness to many of these 'breeds' - 'species' and enjoyed this global overview of a subject I know very little about. I did get to witness dried yak dung to start the fire for us when we were bed/breakfasting at 12,000 feet in Nepal and it inspired me to totally rethink modern developed world life realizing we were the disaster while these few remaining humans had everything necessary.
I would have never expected the alps cow tradition to be mentioned, thank you from Aosta Valley
Excellent video. Good for rewilding as well, as lots of creatures use their dung and benefit from their browsing & wallowing habits.
Great video, but you forgot to mention the Muskox?? How could you forget the great bovine of the tundras!
Whoa -- Muskox ain't Bovine.
Muskox are in the sheep - goat - ibex family.
Actually they are bovine. But I did read upon it out of curiosity, and apparently they are more closely related to goats and sheep so you do have a point there. I'm surprised cus they look so much like oxen
@jamesgoode9246, cattle, goats, sheep, and muskoxen are all in the same family, which is Bovidae, both goats and sheep are both more closely related to cattle than goats and sheep are to muskoxen.
@@indyreno2933 -- Yes, all of these critters are in the family Bovidae.
However, cattle and water buffalo are in the subfamily Bovini.
Sheep, goats, and muskox are all in the subfamily caprini.
@jamesgoode9246, actually, Bovini and Caprini are tribes not subfamilies, also water buffalo are cattle, and no, muskoxen do not belong to the subfamily Caprinae, they now belong to the subfamily Ovibovinae along with the takin, gorals, mountain goat, serows, chamoises, and tahrs, thus restricting the Caprinae subfamily only to the goats (tribe Caprini) and sheep (tribe Ovini), the subfamilies Ovibovinae (Muskox, Takin, Gorals, Mountain Goat, Serows, Chamoises, and Tahrs) and Caprinae (Goats and Sheep) are not closely related, the Ovibovinae subfamily forms a clade with the subfamilies Hippotraginae (Grazing Antelope) and Alcelaphinae (Hartebeests, Wildebeests, Damalisks, and Hirola), while the Caprinae subfamily forms a clade with the subfamilies Antilopinae (True Antelope and Gazelles), Cephalophinae (Duikers), and Neotraginae (Dwarf Antelope), the Caprinae + (Antilopinae + (Cephalophinae + Neotraginae)) clade is actually most closely related to the Peleinae + (Reduncinae + Bovinae) clade, while the Ovibovinae + (Hippotraginae + Alcelaphinae) clade is basal to both, this officially divides bovids into ten subfamilies under three major clades, historically, all bovids other than bovines were included under the now defunct clade Aegodontia, but this taxon is rendered as polyphyletic as goats, sheep, true antelope, gazelles, duikers, dwarf antelope, reedbucks, lechwes, kobs, pukus, waterbucks, and rheboks are all more closely related to bovines than any of them are to muskoxen, takins, gorals, mountain goats, serows, chamoises, tahrs, grazing antelope, hartebeests, wildebeests, damalisks, or hirolas, because of this, the muskox, takin, gorals, mountain goat, serows, chamoises, and tahrs do not belong to the subfamily Caprinae anymore and the Aegodontia taxon is no longer recognized.
A video on ungulates would be so cool!
i literally did an assignment on this the other week funny
gaurs are an absolute unit
Italy doesn't make it's Mozarella from Water Buffalo milk, it makes that cheese from the milk of ordinary eurasian cattle. The reason for the confusion is linguistic:
The word "buffalo" was introduced to English from French traders, who used it to refer to American Bison; within French it's just a word for cattle, is of Latin origin, and is basically the same word that is used in Italian, Portuguese, and probably Spanish and all the other surviving Romance languages. The Normans introduced the word "beef" (another word derived from the same root) to English to refer to the meat of cattle, but they didn't normally raise the animals themselves (they left their own peasants and cattle in Normandy, and just used English ones while in England), so they didn't introduce whichever version of the word "buffalo" that they were using. So "beef" refered to the meat of cattle in English, while "buffalo" refered to cattle-like animals that weren't exactly conventional cattle; thus, when people run across the mention of buffalo milk being used to make Mozzarella they assume that this is buffalo in contrast to _cows,_ where it's actually buffalo in contrast to _goats and sheep._
It took me a while to work this out, as it seemed very odd that a major Italian cheese would be made only with the milk of an animal from nowhere near Italy, but the sources I saw almost always just said "buffalo" without clarifying _which species_ of buffalo- eventually I realized that in English it shouldn't be "buffalo" at all, and it was yet another case of a bad translation.
But in fact: Italian Mozzarella is made by cow or buffalo milk or by a mix of both. And the one with the name "Mozzarella di Bufala Campana" have to be produced only with buffalo milk from this region.
Some added tidbits about Southern Brazilian cattle history: expansionist conflicts made the cattle of Missionary Settlements run wild, making some herds feral, with that context many gauchos got started in the domestication and migration of similar wild herds, the so called "boiadas", the journey between the southern herds towards the city centers of Rio de Janeiro and Salvador played an important part in the growth of São Paulo and the main interstate highways of BR101 and BR116 (and, as an extra, some believe those exact routes were already marked as ancient indigenous routes)
Really interesting video. I enjoyed it a lot even though I have nothing to do with cattle industry.
Thank you for the video.Beautifully presented. You just didn't mention our shaggy northern friends, the Musk Ox.They are really beautiful.😀
I love eating beef. Such an interesting video. Thank you. Peace be unto you.
Ok, I had to click on this video because the title is hilarious!
Bison were common in the northeast US and down to Florida, where they were beginning to grow in numbers. They moved as far south as the Hot Lands and were beginning to adapt to the heat, the rain, and humidity. Where I live, Arizona, grass is rare in pasture. Cattle feed on weeds and mesquite leaves. Bossy likes her mesquite, it's as high in feed value as clover.
The thumbnail is what got me. "Like a bos" i laughed so hard
Sir your video is very informative.
Sir please make a video of Indian mammals specially on primates.
You can take reference from ( Indian mammals a field guide by Vivek Menon)
Would anyone know what the background song is during the introduction when he discusses the Fertile Crescent?
I notice that Australia was left off the list re wild cattle. But we have something like 150k of wild water buffalo running around the top end. We also have wild Banteng in the Top End as well.
Yes, I don't know how they are classed tho. They were originally a domesticated strain that have since turned feral. So how their genetics differ, I don't know.
@@kwakagreg : If they're the descendants of domestics, then they _aren't_ wild, but _are_ feral. Wild is for those that were never domestic, feral is for domestics that "went native". The difference is because wild & feral individuals will still be behaviorally different from each other (this can be used to identify which characteristics are specific to a breed, vs being the result of training).
It's worth noting that "tame" doesn't always differentiate between wild & domestic ancestry, but "tamed" always means that the individual was _believed_ to be either feral or wild.
@@absalomdraconisHere it's not so easy. The stock came from farmers but meanwhile with genetic tests it was identified that they were pure Banteng. Perhaps the farmers supplemented or built up their stocks with wild-caught animals and then preferred to sell them again when they had the opportunity.
The gaur is also the bull of Red Bull energy drink
