[Sca-cooks] buffalos in Italy?

[Terry Decker]

Auroch is used for two different animals.  The first, Bos primigenius, is a
large extinct bovine which is the ancestor of most domestic cattle.  The
second is the wisent, Bison bonasus, a relative of the American bison.
Neither of these would have been domesticated and available to provide milk
for Scappi.
