Wild Bactrian Camel

Dear Roberta:

Thank you so very much for your assistance with this article. I did get your earlier note but that very day I had to go to hospital for a minor procedure and when I got home I began preparing for this trip and forgot all about it. I am now in Vancouver, Canada (after travelling from Cooktown in northern Queensland, Australia) visiting my mother who is due to have her 99th birthday on the 4th of June. Just this morning I got my little netbook set up and received your second message.

I have made some minor changes to the article, like removing one blockquote which mainly repeated information in an earlier one, and removed some warning tags, etc. Please have a look at it now and let me know if you think it needs some more work.

I am sorry someone removed my photo claiming it was not of "wild camels". It did make a much more attractive page with it. However, on checking, it does seem that these camels which appeared "out of nowhere" during a sand storm, were somewhat out of the normal accepted range for these wild camels. My guide told me they were "wild camels," but I concede they could have been crosses with the domesticated version - I am not really sure, so I guess it is better to leave it out for now.

Again - many thanks for your kind help.

All best wishes,

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Pleistocene Park may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Cattle domestication

For Turano-Mongolian (and Japanese Black) cattle, see for instance, http://webpages.icav.up.pt/ptdc/CVT/105223/2008/References%20for%20BigBos%20proposal%20[PTDC-CVT-105223-2008]/PDF%20files%20of%20references_max30%20[BigBos]/Mannen%20et%20al%202004_MPE-%20Independent%20origin%20of%20Northeastern%20Asian%20cattle.pdf – Rmhermen (talk) 18:14, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

″... suggests that African cattle result from a seperate event, possibly a domestication of African aurochs″
and
″[the Turano-Mongolian type] may have been locally domesticated from an East Eurasian strain of Bos primigenius″
Exactly! Thanks, Roberta jr. (talk) 21:29, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
