In case everyone should know, bovines are constituted by twenty-seven extant species under fifteen genera and three tribes The three tribes of bovines are Boselaphini (Nilgai and Chousingha), Tragelaphini (Spiral-Horned Antelope), and Bovini (Cattle) The Boselaphini tribe contains only two extant species under two genera: the Chousingha (Tetracerus quadricornis) and the Nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus) The spiral-horned antelope (tribe Tragelaphini) are further divided into two subtribes being Tragelaphina (Lesser Spiral-Horned Antelope) that is constituted by the Northern Bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus), the Southern Bushbuck (Tragelaphus sylvaticus), the Sitatunga (Bongo spekii), and the Bongo (Bongo eurycerus) and Taurotragina (Greater Spiral-Horned Antelope) that is constituted by the Lowland Nyala (Nyala angasii), the Mountain Nyala (Nyala buxtoni), the Lesser Kudu (Strepsiceros imberbis), the Greater Kudu (Strepsiceros strepsiceros), the Common Eland (Taurotragus oryx), and the Giant Eland (Taurotragus derbianus) And the cattle (tribe Bovini) are further divided into three subtribes being Pseudorygina (Saola and Fossil Relatives) that is constituted by only the Saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis), Bubalina (Buffalo) that is constituted by the Lowland Anoa (Anoa depressicornis), the Mountain Anoa (Anoa quarlesi), the Mindoro Dwarf Buffalo (Bubalus mindorensis), the Asiatic Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), the African Bush Buffalo (Syncerus caffer), and the African Forest Buffalo (Syncerus nanus), and Bovina (True Cattle) that is constituted by the Kouprey (Bibos sauveli), the Banteng (Bibos javanicus (cladistically including the Bali Cattle (Bibos javanicus domesticus))), the Gaur (Bibos gaurus (cladistically including the Gayal/Mithun (Bibos gaurus frontalis))), the Paleotropical Aurochs (Bos namadicus (cladistically including the Zebu (Bos namadicus indicus) and Sanga (Bos namadicus africanus))), the Palearctic Aurochs (Bos primigenius (cladistically including the Taurine Ox (Bos primigenius taurus) and Mandarin Ox (Bos primigenius mandarinus))), the Yak (Poephagus grunniens), the European Bison (Bison bonasus), and the American Bison (Bison bison)
@@AnnaTheCymro1914 Yes, studies suggest European water buffalo, like the Italian Mediterranean breed, have genetic traces of both ancient European and Asian buffalo. European water buffaloes, especially the Italian Mediterranean breed, have genetic traces from both ancient European and Asian buffalo populations. This mixed ancestry is a result of the domestication and breeding history of the species.
You didn't mentioned the Camargue region in southern France. A rich wetland where I would definitively see some water buffalo. But curently, there is a specific breed of horse (with some that are completely free), wich graze in a similar fashion on aquatic plant. And it's the white "Camargue horse". Its white fur can help it against heat, but predominantly serve as a repulsor against flies wich are attracted to darker tone. It's the only breed of horses wich can close its nostrils in order to feed underwater. We always say that the konik horses are better to embody the role of the extinct tarpan, but it is now believed as a myth that they are the closest to the extinct wild horse. I still think that they are perfect for rewilding, but maybe on continental Europe (even in the British isles, they used the Exmoor, and old breed, wich is perfectly adapted to the oceanic climate). So instead of one phenotype, I would instead see a diversity of those, with the Camargue horse becoming perfectly adapted to mediterranean Europe. So endemism would be dominant in future wild horses. In a piece of paleoart, it was even described that wild horses of the pleistocene presented a huge spectrum of coat colors variations, just like modern ones. So I would not cling myself to the konik breed for horse rewilding, but taking into acount nuances due to habitat caracteristic, and creation of endemism. Africa had multiple subspecies of zebra, donkeys and the extinct quagga
Most suggestions to rewild Europe comes from Universities. Universities are often situated in urban area, in big cities or important towns. An animal wildlife ecology scientist is most likely a citizen in an urban area. He would be one of the last humans in real danger to be confronted with wild beasts like lions, bears, wolves and leopards, if rewilded somwhere else than in urban areas. He walkes, lives and works far away from rewilded nature. But farmer, lumberjack, forrest worker and village inhabitants are much more likely to get in dangerous close contact with big predator animals. That is why village people and inhabitans of rural area are not so much amused by the idea of introducing dangerous creatures to places near the villages. Now try to imagine: A group of radical village safety protection activists bring lions, wolfes and bears in significant numbers into the central parc of New York or to similiar places in Berlin, London, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Sydney, Istanbul, Mekka, Jerusalem, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta! And all villagers world wide start to demand to increase the number of big predators inmidst big cities! They hunt all big predatores, the urban people brought to the rural areas and bring them alive to where the rewilding scientists live and let them free! We have 1 000 wolves near Berlin in the woods. So the activists might catch them all and rewild them at night in parc area, where children play and dogs are walked, elderly people sit in wheel chairs and young people run or relax. How might that change the view of some politicians and scientists regarding rewilding Germany? The idea now is online. So it is there and must be considered as a strong competition to the rewilding rural area ideology. I expect to see soon new NGOs with the goal to rewild downtown streets! Rewilding is the future? So get a taste of that in your neighborhood, would some activists say. I am only the messenger!

Wasn't the European (Italian) water buffalo shown to have genetics of both older european buffalo and asian buffalo?
