Bos taurus × Bison bison, commonly known as a beefalo, is a hybrid species resulting from the crossbreeding of domestic cattle (Bos taurus) and the American bison (Bison bison). They possess the robust build and distinctive hump of bison alongside the more docile nature and dairy potential of cattle. Typically found in North America, beefalo are hardy animals capable of thriving in diverse climates and are recognized for their efficient meat production, which is lower in fat and cholesterol compared to traditional beef.

Bos taurus × Bison bison, commonly known as the beefalo, is a hybrid species resulting from the crossbreeding of domestic cattle (Bos taurus) and American bison (Bison bison). As a hybrid, it does not have a natural native region. However, both parent species have distinct native regions: Bos taurus is originally from Europe and Asia, while Bison bison is native to North America.

As a hybrid, beefalo are primarily found in human-managed environments such as farms and ranches across North America. They are typically kept in pastures that provide ample grazing opportunities. The environmental conditions they thrive in are variable but generally align with those suitable for both cattle and bison, including temperate climates with access to grasslands or open ranges.

Beefalo are bred for agricultural purposes, specifically for meat production, and they occupy a niche similar to that of cattle in agricultural settings. Their ecological niche involves grazing on grasses and other vegetation in open pastures or rangelands. They are managed by humans and do not have a significant wild ecological niche, unlike their bison ancestors.
