Can you predict a brain volume? The aurochs (Bos primigenius) is an extinct species of large wild cattle that inhabited Asia, Europe, and North Africa. It is the ancestor of domestic cattle. The last known aurochs died in Poland in 1627. We do not have brain mass data for this species, but the species body mass averaged about 364 kilograms. Can you calculate an estimated volume of the brain in ml?.
