It is thought that European bison genetically diverged from steppe bison (as well as modern American bison, which are descended from steppe bison) at least 100,000 years ago. Genetic evidence indicates that European bison were present across Europe, from France to the Caucasus during the Last Glacial Period , where they co-existed alongside ...
Żubroń are hybrids of domestic cattle and wisents.. A bovid hybrid is the hybrid offspring of members of two different species of the bovid family. There are 143 extant species of bovid, and the widespread domestication of several species has led to an interest in hybridisation for the purpose of encouraging traits useful to humans, and to preserve declining populations.

Zubron, a hybrid between wisent (European bison) and domestic cow. Yakalo, a hybrid between a bison and a yak.

The American bison has four lumbar vertebrae, while the European has five. [14] (The difference in this case is that what would be the first lumbar vertebra has ...

Adult American bison are slightly heavier on average because of their less rangy build and have shorter legs, which render them slightly shorter at the shoulder. [43] American bison tend to graze more and browse less than their European relatives because their necks are set differently. Compared to the nose of the American bison, that of the ...
