A small herd of aurochs, the ancestors of the modern cow, grazes in the tall grass of an open field. Several females nibble on the tender green shoots while keeping watch over the younger animals. A large male aurochs lifts his head and looks toward the horizon. Its long, curved horns stand out distinctly against the blue of the sky. Suddenly, he bolts away at a swift run. The rest of the herd follows with thunderous hoof beats. Human shouts pierce the air. The hunters begin a chase but soon stop. Their chance for a kill is gone. The aurochs have escaped.
