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?
