Hello, just a quick couple of questions 

1. Does anyone know of any good accounts of the Heck Brothers work 'recreating' the aurochs in germany?

2. Where near to Cardiff/Bristol are any mounted aurochs skeletons?

3. Any good images of an aurochs, all I can find are either historic or mildly hysterical! 

I visited Berlin zoo in the early 80s and saw some giant cattle (were they Heck brother aurochs) which made a great impression on me.  I recently wrote a brief piece on aurochs  for the film Beast of the Southern Wild. and as a result National Geographic have been in touch as they are interested in making a program on the Heck brothers.

Cheers for any information.
