Cows that do become steak are domesticated, and have been for centuries, which means they are different breed than wild ones that existed. Thus, you can't find our cow in wild form, because they've never been wild. However, there are creatures similar to cows like yaks or musk oxen.

In Europe, the last species of wild cattle was the aurochs (bos taurus primigenius), which died out in Poland in the 17th century.

So yeah, if we just kind of let them go they'll probably perish to the elements or predators or whatever and for whatever time they'd manage to survive they'd probably cause a bunch of damage to the environment

For whatever reason, cows (Bos taurus) don't seem to go feral like other domesticated species do. Australia has feral goats, pigs, camels, horses, water buffalo, and donkeys, but does not seem to have a feral cattle population despite large numbers of them being free to roam unfenced on many stations.



There is however a population of feral Banteng, an Asian cattle species that exists both domesticated and wild, though the latter is rare. Compared to many other feral animal populations they're relatively benign.

So if you're descended from Charlemagne or Genghis Khan, shut the gently caress up about it. You're not special.
Good post. Of course, that was literally my point in posting it. I'm extremely no one special.

Wiki links the papers used as evidence if you care to look: Whole lotta Genghisids

And that's only male line descendants. Like the Charlemagne thing, once you start counting the female line, probably anyone with any ancestor from Eurasia is related to the great Khan in some way.

It's a grossly misleading interpretation of the Norse history in North America, which I find disappointing after all the highly accurate Roman memes!

For those who are uninitiated, yes, he really did that. He showed up at Tyre and demanded their surrender, and they told him to gently caress off, because they were a mighty city, well-fortified on an island.

Alexander literally had his army build a landbridge so they could attack.

And that's why Tyre isn't an island anymore.

Who was the one who they sent to talk to the other side to broach a peace, and then decided they didn't like the conditions and exiled him so he went back to the other side, joined them, and took over?
