Isolated Island Cattle Herds Face Survival Challenges After Human Departure
Two isolated cattle populations, one on New Zealand's Enderby Island and another on India's Trinket Island, have faced survival challenges after being left feral. The Enderby herd, introduced in 1896, was rescued in the early 1990s to preserve a rare breed amid environmental restoration efforts. Meanwhile, cattle on Trinket Island became feral following the 2004 tsunami that displaced humans, with about 150 descendants remaining by 2020, highlighting concerns over their vulnerability and historical significance.
