RECORDS OF BIG GAME 



DOMESTICATED OXEN (Bos taurus and B. indicus). 



The domesticated cattle of Europe are the descendants of the 

 primitive wild ox, or aurochs (a name frequently misapplied to the 

 bison) of Europe and North Africa (Bos taurus primigenius], now 

 completely extinct in the wild state, although it survived on the 

 continent till the Middle Ages. On the other hand, the humped oxen 

 (zebu) of India and the Galla cattle of Africa appear to trace their 

 origin to a totally distinct species (Bos indicus], also extinct in the wild 

 state.
