7 Interesting Facts About Cows

There are still a few wild cow survivors

Several individuals have wondered if there are still wild cows out there. Well, there is, in a nutshell. Although many of the surviving wild species do not resemble the cow we all know from farms and pictures (because the aurochs, Bos primigenius, the wild ancestor of most domestic cattle, has been extinct since the 17th century), you can still visit and see these rare wild cows in zoos such as the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The wild cattle species in this area consume low-starch, high-fiber pellets as well as Bermuda and Sudan grass hay.
