Bid to resurrect extinct cattle species by using long-horned muscular tauros 

Tauros are bred to be genetically similar to aurochs which are considered to be the wild ancestors of domestic cattle

Tauros have been bred to be genetically similar to the ancient aurochs, which became extinct 400 years ago

A project which aims to effectively reintroduce a species of cattle that was wiped out four centuries ago plans to introduce a herd in the Highlands.

Trees for Life hopes 15 large wild cattle named tauros can be brought to live in an area near Loch Ness.
