65.5 million years ago, an asteroid with a diameter of 6 miles crashed into what is now the Yucatan Peninsula, creating the Chixculub crater. It threw so much dust into the atmosphere, that sunlight was blocked for months. Plants died without sunlight, and the herbivorous dinosaurs died without plants to eat. The carnivores soon died out, too, because their prey was gone.
There is evidence, too, that the Chixculub impact preceded the dinosaur extinction by hundreds of thousands of years, until another, possibly larger asteroid struck and eliminated the non avian dinosaurs once and for all. Even without the asteroids, dinosaurs were already dealing with the negative affects of climate change.
Since birds are dinosaurs by definition and since they survive to present day, you could also say that dinosaurs NEVER went extinct.
Aurochs are species of large wild cattle that are ancestors of current day domestic cattle. The last of the aurochs died in 1627 in Poland and it was considered that a combination of unrestricted hunting, the transmission of diseases by domestic cattle and the development of farming causing the narrowing of habitat was the cause of the extinction of the species.
Aurochs were hunted by man to extinction. Aurochs are the ancestor to all domestic cattle although none of their species exist any longer. Attempts were made in the early 20th century to breed Aurochs using primitive races of cattle. This attempt produced animals similar in appearance to the original Aurochs.
Yes. They were hunted to extinction and the last recorded Auroch died in 1627 on a farm in Poland.

There are several species of extinct cattle. Examples include: B. p. primigenius, B. p. namadicus and B. p. africanus. They are all aurochs, which are ancestors of domestic cattle's.
Aurochs were a type of domestic cattle that are now extinct. They looked much like a steer does today with a large hump at the shoulders as well as a pair of long horns that protruded sideways from the head.

They're not; they went extinct in 1672ish.

Modern cattle are derived from an extinct animal called the aurochs.
Aurochs (extinct wild cattle), bison, horses, deer.

Sheep, goat, cattle, aurochs (Extinct from hunting,last one in Poland in 1600s), oxen.
Cro-Magnon man created a variety of cave paintings, such as those found in Lascaux and Chauvet caves in France. These paintings depict animals, handprints, and geometric shapes that reflect their environment and daily life. The art serves as a glimpse into the artistic and cultural lives of our prehistoric ancestors.
