Recently there has been a surge in sightings of Highland Cattle on the mountain ranges of North America. This animal is one of the last few remnants of Scottish cattle that once roamed free in Europe and Scotland and parts of Asia, Africa, India, and Australia.

Currently, the Highland cattle are considered endangered due to human expansion into previously uninhabited lands. Also, the worldwide shift to industrial agriculture, where highland cattle are kept primarily for the production of dairy products like milk, butter, and cheese, is reducing the highland cattle population.
