When did the aurochs go extinct?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4
