"Bos primigenius: Tracing the Footsteps of Ancient Giants" Step into a Neanderthal landscape, where ancient artwork tells tales of the mighty Bos primigenius. These magnificent creatures, known as Aurochs, once roamed the earth with grandeur. In historical artwork, their powerful presence is captured alongside human figures. The sight of Aurochs grazing in vast landscapes must have been awe-inspiring to our ancestors. Traveling to Los Llanos in Colombia, South America, we encounter another variation - the Zebu Cattle (Bos primigenius indicus). Their distinctive humps and graceful demeanor make them a captivating sight against the backdrop of this beautiful region. Venturing further into diversity within this species, we come across the Dwarf Zebu bull named Gambier Bolton. Despite its smaller size compared to other breeds, it possesses an undeniable charm that captivates onlookers. The Brahma bull stands out with its prominent hump on its back. This breed showcases both strength and elegance as it grazes peacefully in Unity State, South Sudan at dawn near Leer. The tranquil atmosphere surrounding these cattle camps paints a serene picture of coexistence between humans and animals. Delving deeper into history's pages, we discover lithographs by Karl Joseph Brodtmann from Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals (1836). Here lies evidence of an extinct species - the bull Aurochs along with American bison sharing space on paper but separated by time. Handcoloured copperplate engravings depict yet another glimpse into the past - an extinct Bull Aurochs resplendent in all its glory. These artworks serve as reminders that even though they are no longer among us physically, their legacy lives on through our fascination and admiration for them. Returning to Unity State in South Sudan at dawn near Leer once again reveals the enduring presence of cattle camps.
