The first complete mitochondrial genome ( 16, 338 base pairs ) DNA sequence analysis of " Bos primigenius " from an archaeologically verified and exceptionally well preserved aurochs bone sample was published in 2010.

Also, he provided anatomical distinctions for the aurochs ( " Bos primigenius " ) and the Steppe wisent ( " Bison priscus " ), being the binomal author of both species.

The woolly mammoth ( Mammuthus primigenius ), covered in hair to guard against the rigorous climate of the ice age, reached a height of four meters ( 13 feet ) and weighed up to six tons.

Next, there is the reproduction of the engraving representing the " Bos Primigenius " a bovid dating back around 11, 000 years ago ( thus from the final part of the Upper Paleolithic ).

During the last ice age, woolly mammoths ( " Mammuthus primigenius " ) lived on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean and survived until 1700 BC, the most recent survival of any known mammoth population.

Footprints and trackways preserved in silt include those of the extinct elephant " Mammuthus primigenius " and the extinct camel " Camelops hesternus ", in addition to those of horse, bison and caribou.

Eurasian aurochs were also domesticated into cattle breeds of European form ( Bos taurus, also known as Bos primigenius taurus ) commencing about 8, 000 years ago in a region known as the Fertile Crescent in the Near East.
28.
Crosses between yaks and domestic cattle ( " Bos primigenius taurus " ) have been recorded in Chinese literature for at least 2, 000 years . gaur, and banteng, generally with similar results to those produced with domestic cattle.
29.
The percentage of animals found to be infested in large-scale slaughterhouse studies range from 1.7 % in Tanzanian Zebu ( " Bos primigenius indicus " ) to over 60 % in Philippine " Bubalus bubalis ".
30.
"Bos primigenius " and " longifrons " have been ranked by nearly all palaeontologists as distinct species; and it would not be reasonable to take a different view simply because their domesticated descendants now intercross with the utmost freedom.
