Rezensionen
This is a richly researched account of the behaviour, ecology, genetics and history of the famous wild cattle, and of the park in northern England in which they have lived with minimal interference for many centuries. It is packed with new and important information.

These beautiful animals - seemingly placid and approachable yet which cannot be handled - are our sole window onto the aurochs, the ancestor of all domestic cattle that died out 300 years ago. Chillingham cattle consequently represent the biological gold standard against which all modern cattle may be compared and hence better understood.

This authoritative, stimulating and beautifully illustrated book will appeal to zoologists, veterinarians, conservationists, landscape historians and the general reader in natural history.
