Abstract: The existence of the fighting bull, exploited in the poor pastures in the interior of Terceira Island, allowed the preservation of the largest area of endemic a 20-million-year-old subtropical rainforest called Laurissilva (Pereira, [1]). The fighting bull is the symbol of the preser- vation carried out by some of these men, the cattle farmers (Albanez, [2]). The appearance of the first cattle in the Azores occurred in the 15th century, in line with the discovery and settlement by the Portu- guese (Cartwright, [3])
