Zubron
The hybrid between a cow and a European bison is what we call a zubron. Bred in Poland for the first time in 1969, it was given its name in a naming contest organized by a Polish magazine.
These hybrids are extremely large and bulky and the males of the breed can weigh as much as 2600 pounds. Their dark and shaggy coats make them physically resemble their parent animal, the bison. They were produced to replace cows but the project was declared a misstep.
