Abstract
The crossing of such species belonging to the same genus as the European and American bison poses no difficulty, and the existence of these hybrids in fact represented a major problem in the first years of restitution of the European bison, since the purity of Bison bonasus (L.) came under threat. In contrast, the obtainment of hybrids between genera, e.g. Bison and Bos (the genus including domestic cattle) is more problematical. It is worth recalling that domestic cattle were grazed in the Bialowieza Forest for many years at the same time as bison were present there, yet no births of hybrids in natural conditions were noted.
