Żubrońs are one of the most impressive hybrid animal species around. The concept behind trying to get a Żubroń originated in the mid-1800s when there was a theory a cross-breeding effort could result in a greater species to replace current cattle. This led to scientists breeding some domesticated cattle with wisents, also known as European Bison.

Żubroń are considered a near-perfect species. They are resistant to disease, unlike other cattle or bison. Males can weigh up to 2,600lbs while females weigh up to 1,790lbs, meaning they can be used for meat. Both are strong and can tolerate horrific weather conditions, making for perfect carrying aid. Like other hybrids, the males are infertile but the females can reproduce.
