The scientific name of zebu ( or zebus ) cattle was originally Bos indicus, but they are now more commonly classified within the species Bos primigenius, together with taurine cattle ( Bos primigenius taurus ) and the ancestor of both of them, the extinct aurochs ( Bos primigenius ).

Zebu cattle are thought to be derived from Asian aurochs, sometimes regarded as a subspecies, Bos primigenius namadicus Another wild cattle species, the gaur ( Bos gaurus ) may also have contributed to their development.

Heck cattle are bulky, like many other domestic breeds, while the aurochs, as a wild bovine, had an athletic body shape.

The legs of Heck cattle are shorter and the trunk much longer than in the aurochs, in which shoulder height and trunk length nearly equalled each other.

All in all, proportions and body shape of Heck cattle are not particularly similar to the aurochs and do not differ significantly from many other domestic breeds.

Besides the features that are wanted because they bear resemblance to the aurochs, strongly divergent features may pop out, e. g. a gray or beige coat colour, or a black-whitely spotted colour pattern.

All in all, Heck cattle differ in many respects from the aurochs and there are breeds, like Spanish fighting bulls, Sayaguesa Cattle, Pajuna Cattle, Maremmana primitivo, Maronesa and others, which bear in some aspects a greater resemblance to the wild animal, according to some scientists.
