Red links should be placed in ==Uncategorised breeds==. Thank you!--> The following is a '''list of breeds of cattle'''. Over 800 breeds of cattle are recognized worldwide, some which adapted to the local climate, others which were bred by humans for specialized uses. Breeds fall into two main types, regarded as either two closely related species, or two subspecies of one species. ''Bos indicus'' (or ''Bos taurus indicus'') cattle, also called zebu, are adapted to hot climates. ''[[Bos taurus]]'' (or ''Bos taurus taurus'') are the typical cattle of Europe, north-eastern Asia, and parts of Africa &ndash; they are referred to in this list as "taurine" cattle, and many are adapted to cooler climates. ''Taurus/indicus'' hybrids are widely bred in many warmer regions, combining characteristics of both the ancestral types. In some parts of the world further species of cattle are found (both as wild and domesticated animals), and some of these are related so closely to taurine and indicus cattle that inter[[species]] [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrids]] have been bred. Examples include the [[Dwarf Lulu]] cattle of the mountains of [[Nepal]] with [[yak]] blood,<ref>{{cite journal|title=Mitochondrial DNA analysis of Nepalese domestic dwarf cattle Lulu|url=http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bsc/asj/2004/00000075/00000002/art00003|last=Takeda|first=K.|coauthors=Satoh M.; Neopane S.P.; Kuwar B.S.; Joshi H.D.; Shrestha N.P.; Fujise H.; Tasai M.; Tagami T.; Hanada H.|journal=Animal Science Journal|volume=75|issue=2|date=April 2004|pages=103–110(8)|doi=10.1111/j.1740-0929.2004.00163.x}}</ref> the [[Beefalo]] of North America with [[bison]] genetics, the [[Selembu]] breed of [[India]] and [[Bhutan]] with [[gayal]] genetics.
