  • Spanish fighting bull Bos primigenius taurus SPAIN/CIUDAD RODRIGO, SALAMANCA PROVINCE, CASTILLA Y LEÓN The Eurasian aurochs (Bos primigenius primigenius) is the ancestor of every cow and bull on our planet today, but it was unfortunately hunted to extinction in 1627, when the last one died in Poland. The Aurochs were the heaviest land mammals of our continent, and they used to move around in herds, possibly of up to thousands of animals, a bit like the African buffaloes still do today in parts of Africa. Several cattle breeds in Europe still have quite a lot of genes remaining from the Aurochs, which makes them look similar to the Aurochs pictured by artists 15-20,000 years ago in the cave paintings from the Lascaux caves in France, the Altamira caves in Spain, and the rock carvings from the Coa valley in Portugal. The Aurochs bull was dark with a whitish muzzle, often with a brownish mantle, long, lyre-shaped, forward-pointing horns, a straight back and a distinct shoulder hump.The lack of grazing aurochs in the European wilderness ecosystems is one of the missing links of our natural heritage. Rewilding Europe therefore supports the ”Tauros Project” which has the aim to re-create the aurochs, using cattle races like the Maremmana, the Pajuna, the Podolica, the Sayaguesa and a few others, and then let it live like a wild species again.

  • The incredible olm, Proteus anguinus, SLOVENIA/DIVJE JEZERO, IDRIJA Slovenia has more than 9,000 registered caves, like an entire basement section to the normal landscape above. In these and in some locations in Italy, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina lives one of the world’s more strange creatures, the olm or “Baby Dragon”. Without eyes, without pigment and with a set of red gills on the outside of the body, this all-white cave salamander can live to be over 100 years old, reaches sexual maturity at the age of 17, and is able to survive without any food at all for at least 6 years! Picture taken in controlled conditions.

  • Bugling red deer stag, Cervus elaphus, DENMARK/KLAMPENBORG, COPENHAGEN, The red deer is the most emblematic of all European animals. It is depicted in countless cave paintings, rock carvings, and in the coats-of-arms of noblemen, towns, regions and businesses. It lives in habitats from treeless moorlands to semi-deserts, but was hunted to, and in some areas over the verge of extinction. During the 1800s the red deer survived in many countries only in large royal hunting grounds, like the one where this photo was taken. It is now coming back in numbers, thanks to reintroductions and better hunting regulations.

It is depicted in countless cave paintings, rock carvings, and in the coats-of-arms of noblemen, towns, regions and businesses. It lives in many habitats from treeless moorlands to semi-desert, but was hunted to, and in some areas over the verge of extinction. During the 1800s and 1900s the red deer survived in many countries only in large royal hunting grounds, like the one where this photo was taken. It is now coming back in great numbers, thanks to reintroductions and more sensible hunting regulations. During the fall mating season, also known as “the rut”, the red deer stags use a brawling call to advertise their territory and attract the females.
