I don't know that looks like there's more than just breeding there.

These bulls are not mutants. They were selected for offspring production and can grow even twice bigger.

We have been genetically modifying species through selective breeding for millennia.

Their enormous size and muscle mass, sometimes called "double muscling," is a naturally occurring mutation of the gene for myostatin, a protein that regulates muscle growth. This mutation results in accelerated lean muscle growth.</DIV>
