Created By: Yak & Domestic Cattle
Dzo or Dzomos are hybrids created by using a male yak and a domestic cow. Like other hybrids, females can have offspring but the males are completely sterile. The Dzo hybrid animal species is actually much larger than any normal Yak or Cattle, likely due to something known as heterosis.
This is merely the improvement or increase in certain traits among hybrid creations compared to parents. Dzomo can also be back-crossed, allowing them to have offspring with a parent or genetically similar animal to their parent. This means there might be pure cattle or pure yak with each other’s genetic makeup.
