1560 Gesner extinct Auroch Urus Bos
Bildnummer 11614943
| Gesner Woodcut "Icones Animalium" 1560. Publ. Christoph Froschover,Zurich. In his account of the now extinct auroch,Gesner works from the account of Heberstein and directly from a woodcut by Augustin Hirsfogel (1556,1533). Hirsfogel's near identical picture of the auroch has the inscription " I am a urus,called by the Poles a thur,by the Germans an aurox and hitherto also a bison by the ignorant". The confusion is doubtless because both bison and auroch were already rare in Europe - indeed the auroch less than a century from going extinct entirely. The auroch was the ancestor of domestic cattle,bulls reaching 1.8m at the withers,cows 1.5. Reports say they were blacker than this image represents them,with a pale strip down the back. There have been historical attempts to genetically reconstitute this wild species from cattle. This included the Nazi supported Heck cattle project | |
