These cattle represent many generations of natural selection and adaptation to the ecological conditions of the Pantanal - a flooded land of the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul (Central Western region of Brazil). This valuable genetic resource which was the basis of the beef cattle industry of the Pantanal region for the last 300 years, in now considered in danger of extinction, due to the introduction of Zebu cattle in the beginning of this century. The Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) through the  National Research Center for Genetic Resources and Biotechnology (CENARGEN) and the Pantanal Agricultural Research Center (CPAP) is concerned with the conservation of Pantaneiro cattle population. To clarify its origin constitutes not only the recovery of an important mark of the history of Brazil, as well as the generation of basic information for its conservation. It has been shown that the origin of Pantaneiro cattle is related with the Spanish expeditions on the La Plata river basin, on the second quarter of the 16th century. There has been also influence of one Spanish jesuitic mission and of the indian populations established on the Paraguay river basin.
