The wild ancestors of cows were native to northern Africa, Europe, and southern Asia. The word cow goes finally back to the sanskrit go.
Taurin cattle was domesticated in the Near East some 10 000 years ago from the wild aurochs. Zebu cattle, which originated in India, are sometimes known as a separate species, Bos indicus, but current taxonomy recognizes zebu cattle as a type of Bos taurus. Zebu cattle are characterized by a hump over the shoulder, drooping ears, and large dewlaps. They are well-adapted to arid, tropical climates and are especially resistant to the effects of heat, parasitic insects, and ticks (animaldiversity.org).
Successful crossbreeds with cows are mdzo (yak and cow) and ba men (gaur and cow), one between an ox and a 'bri (yak-cow) is the skom po or rtol. But water buffalos and domestic cattle are not known to be able to hybridize.
