Pretty interesting story about Aurochs: apparently two brothers in Germany both ran programs to "back breed" the Auroch in the 1920s. One brother, Lutz Heck, eventually became a Nazi and his program became an official Nazi program. After an attempt to reintroduce some animals into German forests, he and Hermann Goering eventually went on a hunting expedition together for them. Heinz Heck, the other brother was imprisoned at Dachau. The result of his program is the current breed of cattle known as "Heck cattle"[0]. He was also responsible for the reintroduction of European Bison into the wild. There are several other programs [1] that are attempting to reintroduce Aurochs, through a variety of methods.
