Description:

Morphological observations were made and linear measurements and weight taken on material consisting of 42 European bisons, ranging in age from 1 day to 24 years, and 32 hybrids between the European bisons and cattle, belonging to different generations and aging 5 months - 9 years. The spleen of the European bison is heavier than of domestic cattle and in adult specimens it reaches 1712.5 g or 0,26% of live weight (males) and 1505.0 g or 0,29% of live weight (females); it is also longer and broader (respectively, 64.53 and 63.73 cm long and 21.04 and 21.77 cm broad) than in cattle. Obserwacje morfologiczne oraz pomiary liniowe i wagowe wykonano na materiale obejmującym śledziony 42 żubrów (29, 13) w wieku od 1 dnia do 24 lat (Tabela 1) a także 32 mieszańców z bydłem domowym (17, 15) w wieku od 5 miesięcy do 9 lat (Tabela 2).
