Pinero Cattle Ranch Venezuela
Zebus (Bos primigenius indicus), sometimes known as 'humped cattle' or 'indicus' cattle. They are a type of cattle better-adapted to tropical environments than the other domestic cattle, the Bos primigenius taurus or 'taurine' types. Zebu cattle are thought to be derived from the Asian subspecies of aurochs Bos primigenius namadicus.[1] Another wild cattle species, the gaur (Bos gaurus) may also have contributed to their development.[citation needed] Probably the first species to vanish from the Indian wilderness, the wild zebu disappeared during the time of the Indus Valley Civilization from its range in the Indus basin and other spots of Pakistan, possibly due to inter-breeding with domestic cattle and resultant fragmentation of wild populations due to loss of habitat.
