Killer Nazi cows!
« on: January 07, 2015, 01:49:55 PM »
Apparently the Third Reich genetically engineered killer cows and planned to let them loose in Europe for their supermen to hunt. A section of killer cows would make an interesting WWW2 unit!

Here's a link to a BBC news report, where a UK farmer has had to cull some of his herd because they were attacking his workers  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30703082

Goering didn't want "cows like aurochs" - he wanted real aurochs, along with real Tarpan. The idea was that you could "resurrect" an extinct animal by cross-breeding similar animals possessing characteristics of the desired breed.
(That is of course impossible, though you could end up with a very similar species.)

National Geographic made a documentary about these experiments, entitled Hitler's Jurassic Monsters ( lol ). You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtUP2qMcm4U
