(plural aurochs) extinct species of
long-horned wild cattle Bos primigenius that
formerly roamed Europe, SW Asia, and N
Africa. It survived in Poland until 1627.
Black to reddish or grey, it was up to 1.8
m/6 ft at the shoulder. It is depicted in
many cave paintings, and is considered the
ancestor of domestic cattle.
