Conteúdo: 	The spanish cattle breeds brought by settlers reaching the Pantanal later joined portuguese breeds and their descendants formed a local breed called Pantaneiro, Cuiabano or Tucura cattle. Through natural selection and evolutionary processes, these cattle adapted to the ecological conditions of the Pantanal (16o-22o S and 55o-58oW), a floodplain in the upper Paraguay river basin. Since  the beginning of this century, these populations have been gradually substituted by Zebu cattle, placing this genetic resource in danger of extinction. The Pantanal Agricultural Research Center founded a conservation bank at its experimental station at the Pantanal. Literature on the subject is very scarce; some publications from the beginning of the 20o century describe the Pantaneiro cattle as small sized with short red or brown hair with lighter coloration on the back; short and thin horns, upturned and pointed to the front; white ring around the snout and a lighter circle around the eyes. However, since the end of the 19o century, interbreeding, mainly with the Franqueiro cattle (descendant from portuguese breeds formed in Minas Gerais, Brazil) and the Zebu has occurred. The remaining populations of Pantaneiro cattle are quite similar to those described at the beginning of this century, maintaining some phenotypical characteristics of old spanish and portuguese cattle. Pantaneiro bovine closely resembles the Criollo of Beni (Bolivia) and the Casanare (Colombia).
