They Abandoned Cows On An Uninhabited Island - 130 Years Later Experts Found Something Unexpected

In the late 1800s, they abandoned cows on Amsterdam Island, an uninhabited island in the southern Indian Ocean where nothing should survive. 130 years later, experts found something unexpected: nearly 2,000 wild cattle thriving in impossible conditions. When scientists analyzed DNA samples collected in 1992 and 2006, they discovered these abandoned cows had evolved faster than anyone thought possible—adapting to survive without water, food sources, or human help. But in 2010, a controversial decision was made that erased this unique population forever. This video explores what experts found in their genes, why the cattle were removed, and whether we made the right choice. The debate continues today.
