Dzo the strong Tibetan bovine

The Dzo is a very strong Tibetan animal similar to the yak, used for heavy work such as ploughing and transporting goods over long distances.

Dzo is the Tibetan word for the male offspring of a cross between domestic cattle and yak. The dzo is a common livestock animal in Tibet, with large herds of yak and mixed hybrids sprinkled throughout the Tibetan mountain regions. Physically, dzo and their female counterparts, known as dzomo, are smaller than yaks, but larger than domestic cattle. Although not an absolute, a dzo will typically present with facial features resembling a cow, but with the shaggy coat and horns characteristic of a yak. Similar bovid hybrids are also common to Mongolia and areas surrounding the Himalayas, known there as khainag, zho, or zo.
