The ''Siboney de Cuba'' is a hybrid breed of cattle optimized for survival in harsh environments. They comprise 5/8 Holstein Friesian (''Bos taurus'') and 3/8 Zebu (Bos indicus).〔(), Langbein, J and Nichelmann, M, ''Differences in behaviour of free-ranging cattle in the tropical climate'' Applied Animal Behaviour Science (1993).〕 As such, they are a true hybrid of two species - however, they are fertile (although they do not, of course, breed true). The breed was originally created in the 1970s to improve the milk yields of the hardy but poor yielding zebu by incorporating genes from the more productive but also more frail Holstein.〔(), Suárez MA, Zubizarreta I & Pérez T, ''Genotype by environment interaction in “Siboney de Cuba” cattle'', Livestock Research for Rural Development (2009)〕 The result has been an economically viable (and even profitable) animal, incorporating resistance to tropical climatic stresses.〔(), McDowell, RE and' Wilk, JC and Talbott, CW, ''Economic Viability of Crosses of Bos taurus and Bos indicus for Dairying in Warm Climates'', Journal of Dairy Science (1996)〕 〔
