>
> Hi everyone
> A very quick query about aurochs breeding/reproduction. I'm helping to put
> together factfiles on various extinct species for the BBC Nature website,
> http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/ <http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/> in
> anticipation of a series that will go out in early summer.
>
> There is a "compulsory" entry I have to make on each entitled "reproduction"
> (the site wasn't designed with extinct animals in mind). This is somewhat
> challenging for some species, but as the aurochs didn't become extinct until
> the 17th century, can anyone point me at any observations recorded about its
> courtship, breeding, etc?

> Thanks
