These animals are bred back from the extinct aurochs, which were widespread in Eurasia and North Africa during the Ice Age. Today's aurochs were bred back from various primitive cattle breeds such as the Spanish fighting cattle, Corsican cattle and Scottish Highland cattle.
In the Betzenberg wildlife park you can observe the aurochs in spacious enclosures. The park offers numerous hiking trails that lead past the enclosures and give you the opportunity to see the animals in their natural environment.
