By far the most dangerous animal on the planet - not just the UK - is Homo Sapiens!

Re: Welcome Back !......... Yes or No ?

The best ever spaghetti al ragu (Bolognese to you lot ) I've ever eaten was made with wild boar meat rather than the usual 50/50 mix of minced beef and minced pork. Likewise, wild boar sausages are very tasty.

Our lady Moos are dangerous if they have young, they go into protect mode chase first ask questions later. Even I'm not daft enough to go into the field where the calfs are.

I wonder why/how these animals became extinct to our land.

I’m thinking, they were hunted mainly because they were a danger to both farm animals and people alike.

I have read the increasing population of wild boar that roam The Forest of Dean has/is causing concerns.

Probably because dog walkers keep hold of the lead if chased by cows .
Cows are curious by nature and like to chase dogs .
Most dogs can out run a cow but humans cannot and are trampled trying to keep their dog with them .
If a cow chases you with a dog let go of the lead the dog will escape and take the heat of you .
If your dog doesn’t run them make a load noise and aggressive movements and cows will generally back off .
If not run like heck and hide behind a tree .

I used to have to feed Highland cows with their calves, now that was fraught with danger, the cows had horns over a foot long & woe betide you if you got between a mum & her calf, which was hard not to do as their feed rack was halfway across the field. I used to run, throw the hay in & scuttle back as fast as I could. Only got caught once but that was enough, after that I refused to feed them. I'd rather face a stampede of wild horses.

Most animals will give chase if you turn and run....Stand your ground and shout (it works with Mrs Fox)...Unless you think you can outrun the beast...Not likely....

I have some recollection from my childhood, them times when stories like.

When your asleep, and in your dream.... You are climbing a tree/mountain, and you fall.... if you don't wake up before you hit the ground..... You'll wake up dead

Also I remember being told, Cows can't run down a stairs !!, thats because their front are a lot shorter than their back legs

So, are Cows fast.... and can they run down hill
