In 1935, a herd of feral cattle was spotted roaming Singapore. Since then, alleged sightings have been rare. Reports came mainly from Japanese soldiers in World War II and occasionally from local residents. If these reports are true, these cows were confined to the areas of Tampines, Punggol, Sembawang and Pulau Ubin. In 2016, a cow was discovered on Coney Island but died shortly after. Some believe that wild cows still roam Singapore.

New Forest is a new series of books looking at secondary tropical forest ecologies and histories. The first volume is dedicated to the last cow in Singapore, which died in 2016. The book contains images of the cow just before it passed away.
