Aurochs Calf
Bos primigenius (calf)
Aurochs calves inhabited open woodland, river valleys, and grassy clearings alongside their mothers. They nursed heavily when young, then gradually added grasses, herbs, and browse to their diet. A calf could run soon after birth and used kicks, shoves, and alarm calls to defend itself when threatened. Young aurochs were likely lighter or reddish in coat colour before developing the darker adult coloration.
