What is a cattaloo?
A cattaloo, often colloquially referred to as a "cattalo," is a hybrid animal resulting from the crossbreeding of a domestic cow and a bison. This hybrid typically combines traits from both species, such as the bison's hardiness and the cow's docility. Cattalo are primarily bred for their meat and are known for being more resilient in harsh environments compared to standard cattle. They are a relatively rare hybrid and are of interest in agricultural and conservation contexts.
