[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1451345, member: 27490"] Pretty animals. [b]Bos indicus[/b] influenced or [b]Bos taurus indicus[/b] if you follow the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Its an interesting breed. A member of the Zebu family. I wonder how diverse their genome is? I would guess they got a little bit of everything in them from shorthorn to corriente. Taken from Reference: [b]The scientific name of zebu cattle was originally [u]Bos indicus[/u], but they are now more commonly classified within the species [u]Bos taurus[/u] as [u]B. t. indicus[/u], together with taurine cattle ([u]B. t. taurus[/u]) and the extinct ancestor of both of them, the aurochs ([u]B. t. primigenius[/u]).[2] Taurine ("European") cattle are descended from the Eurasian aurochs, while zebu are descended from the Indian aurochs. "Zebu" may be either singular or plural, but "zebus" is also an acceptable plural form. The Spanish name, cebu or cebú, is also present in a few English works.[/b] Thanks for sharing. Pictures are the icing on the cake. [/QUOTE]
