The skull of a horned animal, which became extinct 400 years ago, has been discovered on a UK beach. Dannielle Keys, 51, made the fascinating find of an auorch's remains in Northumberland.
Aurochs were wiped out during the 17th century after the last remaining creature died in Poland in 1627. The males of the species were 6ft tall and weighed 236st.
This made it one of the largest herbivores in the Holocene, as the animal wandered around Asia and Northern Europe. Now, centuries after their extinction remains from the majestic creatures have been rediscovered on Great Britain's shores, reports Leicestershire Live.
