Bos primigenius is considered to be the wild cattle from which most of the domesticated breeds in the temperate climates of the world have evolved. These now extinct cattle were commonly known as "aurochs." Their external appearance is well known. The bulls were large, up to 6/2 feet (2 meters) at the shoulder, and they often had very long horns. The bull was black with a light stripe along the back and light curly hair between the horns, while the cows were mostly brownish red, occasionally diffused with black. As early as 2500 B. c. there were already several well-characterized breeds which descended from the aurochs. One of these, the Bos longifrons, is considered by some as the source of present Alpine, Jersey, and Shorthorn cattle.
