Interspecies hybridization of bovids occurs between domestic cattle and at least 3 other species: the American bison (Bison bison), yak (Bos grunniens), and banteng (Bos banteng). Birth of a cattle � buffalo hybrid was reported in Russia, but the report was never authenticated. Such hybrids could be important in improving livestock production and managing diseases that impede production in tropical Africa. We investigated hybridization between cattle and their closest African wild relative, the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer caffer). In an attempt to produce pre-implantation cattle � buffalo hybrid embryos in vitro, matured bovine oocytes were subjected to a standard IVF procedure with either homologous (n = 1166 oocytes) or heterologous (n = 1202 oocytes) buffalo epididymal sperm. After IVF, 67.2% of the oocytes inseminated with homologous sperm cleaved. In contrast, insemination with buffalo sperm resulted in a 4.6% cleavage rate. Cleavage was also slower in hybrids than in cattle embryos. Up to 52.2% of cleaved homologous embryos progressed to the morula stage compared with 12.7% for hybrids. No hybrid embryos developed beyond the 16-cell stage, whereas 40.1% of the cleaved bovine embryos developed to the blastocyst stage. Developmental anomalies such as polyspermy, uneven cleavage, vacuolization, and absence of nuclei in some blastomeres were common in the hybrid embryos. We conclude that interspecies fertilization of cattle oocytes with African buffalo sperm occurs in vitro and that the barrier to hybridization is in the early stages of embryonic development. Also, chromosomal disparity is the likely cause of fertilization abnormalities, abnormal development, and subsequent arrest, impairing the formation of pre-implantation hybrid embryos. Investigation into developmental abnormalities, including reciprocal hybridization and genetic studies of the hybrid embryos, are recommended.

The subspecific division of the Plains Bison by one of the authors (Krumbiegel, 1980) into a Southern Plains Bison Bison bison bison (Linnaeus, 1758) and a Northern Plains Bison Bison bison montanae Krumbiegel, 1980, is here corroborated by reference to early illustrations and reports unknown to mammalogists, thereby proving that the authors' historiographical approach can be used in establishing taxonomic reconstructions of recently exterminated species or subspecies.
