Zubron

Zubron is a hybrid of domestic cattle and wisent. The wisent (żubr in Polish) is the European bison; hence the zubron is analogous to the American beefalo. The name zubron was officially chosen from hundreds of proposals sent to the Polish weekly magazine Przekrój during a contest organised in 1969.
