The aurochs is ancestral to both zebu and taurine cattle. Now, these have been reclassified as one species, Bos taurus, with three subspecies: Bos taurus primigenius, Bos taurus indicus, and Bos taurus taurus.
Complicating the matter is the ability of cattle to interbreed with other closely related species. Hybrid individuals and even breeds exist, not only between taurine cattle and zebu (such as the Bos taurus africanus), but also between one or both of these and some other members of the(the or yattle), and . Hybrids such as the breed can even occur between taurine cattle and either species of , leading some authors to consider them part of the genus Bos, as well.The hybrid origin of some types may not be obvious – for example,of the breed, the only taurine-type cattle in Nepal, found them to be a mix of taurine cattle, zebu, and yak. However, cattle cannot successfully be hybridized with more distantly related bovines such as water bufallo
