The wild cattle of Chillingham Castle may have been kept in genetic isolation for 700 years. Following the recommendation of Charles Darwin, The sixth Earl of Tankerville started recording their breeding behaviour in 1860 and they now have the longest phenological record of any mammal.

Cursed towns?

I've recently learned of Dudleytown, Connecticut. There is legend that the town is cursed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudleytown,_Connecticut#Rumors_and_vandalism

This got me wondering, are there other specific towns or forests or other areas that are believed to be cursed?

Idea for breeding back program

in the past few months I have dove deep into the rabbit hole that is breeding back, particularly when it comes to the Aurochs. in learning about the back breeding programs I have began to form my own idea of how I would run my own given the opportunity and would like to see what other people with knowledge on the subject thought of it.

For this project I would use a few parental breeds: Worth/Neandertal heck cattle, Sayaguesa, Chianina, Maronesa, Lidia aka Spanish fighting cattle, and Taurus cattle,

I would use the Maronesa and Sayaguesa cattle as sort of base breeds, I would build my lineage off of them using them as my default cross in breeds. some desirable traits of the Maronesa that I would be looking for in my initial start population are sexual dimorphism (this includes proper coloration and not all individuals in this breed exhibit sexual dimorphism so it may be hard to obtain an animal with other desired traits and the sexual dimorphism), body size, and horn size/curvature. Desirable traits from the sayaguesa are some what long legs, good horn curvature, long skull, and an Aurochs like s curve in the back, I believe that by crossing both the Maronesa and the Sayaguesa we could create a really good starting animal to work with, that in the best case scenario would exhibit a long skull, some sexual dimorphism, a moderate size, horns that have good curvature but would still be to small, a good s curved back, and longer legs, however still not quite reaching the Aurochs 1-1 trunk to withers height ratio. after breeding this cross to the desired phenotypes the next step would be to put them into several enclosures with one bull per enclosure where they can breed while still being monitored to make sure no undesired traits pop up. Meanwhile the same process would take place in breeding a cross with Sayaguesa and Chianina to create essentially a Chianina sized Sayaguesa. this process can be repeated again this time crossing Sayaguesa and the Spanish Fighting Bull to create an animal that is more wild and having the athletic body of the Fighting bull coupled with the s shape and longer legs of the Sayaguesa. once these 3 initial cross populations are fairly stabalized in terms of the phenotypes that each cross strived for we could then go on to mixing the Maronesa x Sayaguasa line with the Fighting bull x Sayaguesa line to start to breed for animals that exhibit sexual dimorphism, have longer legs, have a good horn curvature, have an athletic body

An overview of the Heck cattle at the Oostvaardersplassen and why they're invaluable for rewilding

This is going to be a bit of an effort post, so strap in.

In 1983, 32 Heck cattle along with Konik ponies and red deer were introduced into the Oostvaardersplassen, a nature reserve in the Netherlands, due to concerns that a dense woodland would develop and reduce the habitat for water birds, they would live there without human intervention of any form for decades, though later on would be managed in the form of animals that appeared to be dying of starvation being shot, due to a public outcry after a particularly harsh winter that caused many animals to starve to death. The population did what populations tend to do and by 2011 there were around 350 cattle in the reserve. Without any artificial selection the population became very heterogeneous. It's also important to note that the condition these cattle are living under is not necessarily "natural", as the reserve is fenced in and the animals are unable to migrate when the seasons change, and also lack any form of apex predator such as wolves, bear or even lynx. Some have even speculated that the reason for the lower number of cattle relative to the horses ( there were 1150 horses in 2011, compared to the previously mentioned 350 cattle) is because cattle are better at dealing with predators, and thus the horses are able to outcompete the cows when they're not present.

A picture that nicely shows the heterogeneousness of the cattle, everything from white spots to dilutions, brindling and lyre shaped horns can be seen.

Now that we're all caught up on what the Heck cattle at the Oostvaardersplassen are and how they got there, let's discuss what makes them so special and valuable for rewilding, when there's other populations of cattle living ferally in Europe. The reason for this is that they're an example of dedomestication, which for those unaware of the term describes the process of a domestic animal regressing towards its wildtype after returning to nature. If you want to read more about this I would highly recommend the Dedomestication series on the Breeding-back Blog (which was very helpful when making this post, as it is one of the few sources about the cattle available in english), while it is quite long and the Heck cattle don't show up until the end it is still definitely wort

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
