20 Craziest Animal Hybrids

20 craziest animal hybrids animals like humans can come into contact with each other all the time sometimes this contact results in hybrids if the animals are similar enough whether out in the wild are grown in a lab here's some of the craziest animal hybrids out there 20 veigar's and Tighe ins no bears but we'll get to that later for now we're talking strictly lion and tiger hybrids a liger refers to the hybrid offspring of a male lion and a female tiger on the other hand a tygon refers to the hybrid of a lion mother and a tiger father a much rarer occurrence since a ligers parents belong to the same genus this sort of breeding makes it easier for to be successful a liger may behave like both big cats sociable like a lion and frequently swimming like tigers ligers also appears to be the largest of the big cats in the world larger than any species of tiger or lion 19z broy many things fall into the category of a zebra such as Zedong's azores zeb mules and more essentially what constitutes a zazzy bride would be any egg queen animal crossed with a zebra most of the time these hybrid offspring come as a result of a female egg Queen animal and a male zebra many zebra at hybrids end up with a form of dwarfism as well as infertility the history of the zebra goes as far back as the 19th century many times as a bride will look like the other animal in shape but will usually still feature zebra stripes somewhere on their body like this Zedong 18 wolfin rarely does a wall fin come to exist in the world as female bottlenose dolphins and male false killer whales rarely mate but when they do a wolfen is born and it's not as strange as it sounds after all whales and dolphins both get categorized under the Oceanic dolphin family and the result makes for a really grade Alphin looking whale some wall fins have been reported to live in the wild but the first ever recorded wolfin was born at the SeaWorld in Tokyo in 1981 alone nowadays only one wall fin exists in captivity living at the Sea Life Park in Hawaii seventeen the occurrence of a koi dog may be lower than other candidates such as koi wolves or wolf-dogs since dogs do not form pair bonds with coyotes still koi dogs have been known to exist so work somewhere this usually only happens when coyotes have been introduced into new areas where there's a lack of other coyotes to mate with unlike many hybrids of other animals a coy dog usually appears fertile they've been known to be less trustworthy than other candidates in captivity 16 jag lion jag Lions parents consist of a male Jaguar and a female lion an instance of jag lines being born took place back at the Bear Creek Wildlife Sanctuary in 2006 where a male jag lion named tsunami and a female named Jess Zara were born after a lioness and a black Jaguar mated an unintended occurrence on the sanctuaries part workers at the sanctuary didn't even know that the female lion was even fertile Gazzara seems more black than her brother tsunami who appears more like this mounted specimen on display at the Walter Rothschild zoological Museum in England 15 Beefalo when domestic cattle and American bison get together in May the resulting offspring may be referred to as a Beefalo or sometimes even cattle oh the Beefalo were documented as far back as 1749 in the english colonies of North America when they were noticed amongst the population seemingly accidental breeding it wasn't until a century later where cattle and bison were intentionally crossbred with this the intention was to combine both bovine characteristics as a means of production for their meat 14 NARR luga one of the silliest looking creatures in the sea may just be even our luga whose features combine those of a big headed beluga whale and the snout antifa of a narwhal they very much look like the beluga whales seen in this photo but appear much more gray the way a narwhal would since they both belong to the mano daunted a family and live in the Arctic Ocean it seems that their cross population has been steadily growing in the area especially in the Bering Sea scientists think this may be attributed to the warming of the Arctic driving species that were once far apart in distance much closer 13 though a male hybrid the result of a wild yak and domestic cattle may be called as Oh while female hybrids often get referred to as a somos while females may be fertile a male's Oh is usually sterile they often get bred since these hybrids appear bigger and stronger than both yak and cattle making them perfect for serving as a pack animal in places like Tibet and Mongolia they seem to produce a higher percentage of milk as well 12 comma when you take a dromedary camel like this one and breed it with a female llama you get a ever so cleverly the named hybrid known as kama since a dromedary camel may be much larger than a llama the breeding has to happen by way of artificial insemination in 1998 the first kama was born by 2008 at least five comas were reported to have been born they seem to take a lot after camels though their size appears closer to llamas a Kama has the same herbivore diet as its parents and can drink a lot of water at one time so that it's able to survive with little water for extended periods of time 11 Maillard Pekin ducks and muscovy ducks do not belong to the same genera so not only is their breeding mixing two species the differences go a little further than that these Ducks are called molar ducks sometimes they may be referred to as meal ducks in part because they're born sterile commercial farms breed the ducks for their meat as milords tend to have leaner meat ten Iron Age pig in Australia the breeding of Iron Age pigs happens in nature though the modern area of breeding iron age picks started in the 1980s in Tamworth England the term Iron Age pigs comes from the image of what pigs were depicted as in works of art from the Iron Age these pigs were huge which is why modern Iron Age pigs are bred from a wild boar and a domestic pig 9 yes there's so many different types of hoofed animals with horns that it can be difficult differentiating them at all different species of wild ibex such as Nubian Alpine Asian or bizarre may breed with a domestic goat resulting in the hybrid animal known as Yaya's the eyes may have all sorts of different physical characteristics it really just depends on the kid's parents however when the breeding is controlled its physical appearance can turn out distinct from a purebred ibex like these ones pictured here the American ibex can usually be found in ranches mostly in Texas 8 Leo pond when you cross a lion male leopard with a female lion you get what's called Olli upon that might not be the most creative name but that's what we were dealt with mostly a ponds were bred in captivity and rarely occur in the wild if at all they appear much like this model light brown beige fur tough details and spots they appear physically like smaller Lions with spots of a leopard a majority of Leah ponds were in zoos such as those in Italy Germany and Japan seven Bengal cat a Bengal cat refers to a feline that combines the DNA of a domestic cat in an Asian Leopard Cat they were bred in order to resemble exotic animals such as leopards and ocelots yet have the size of a smaller domestic cat as far as behavior goes if the cat has been bred through three generations it will likely exhibit the behavior of a docile domestic cat rather than its welt' counterpart they don't shed much and have a preference for water as a form of entertainment their appearances vary depending on the domestic cat but they will usually have the markings on their fur six Zubrin you've heard of the Beefalo now let's talk about the zoo bran the result of domestic cattle breeding with a wizened a european bison they may resemble their close relatives the Beefalo though you do see the visible differences the first reported zoo bran were created in 1874 by Leopold Willa key some believe other zoo bran may have existed earlier this experimentation would continue well into the 1980s males can weigh up to 1200 kilograms or 2,600 pounds while females may weigh up to 810 kilograms 1790 pounds five coywolf the cross between a coyote and a wolf may be either called a coy wolf or a y ou T their genes diverged from 6,000 to 117 thousand years ago some of these hybrid offspring may grow to be larger than coyotes already much larger than coyote pups from birth a few species of coywolves vary with the appearance of these hybrids such as those with the Red Wolves the Mexican gray wolf and eastern coyotes the highest levels of admixture in coyotes occur the most in Canada from Alaska all the way to Atlantic Canada for beef a cute name for a rare but cute hybrid a GEEP may refer to the result of the combined embryos of a sheep or the offspring of a sheep and a goat you might even mix up goats and sheep all the time since they look so similar but they do belong to different genera in 2000 a GEEP was born to a male sheep and female goat at the Botswana Ministry of Agriculture it was described as having the woolly inner coat like a sheep and a coarse outer coat with long goat legs and a stout sheep body heaps are usually infertile by 2011 to 2014 a few healthy GEEP were born around the world 3 human animal hybrids then we get to the topic of human-animal hybrids a subject that has stirred a lot of controversy throughout the years you may have seen this photo circulating the internet recently of a supposed cat human hybrid found in Malaysia though Malaysian authorities claimed this to be a false story but it does add to the discussion of what is ethical and what is not it was reported last year that human pig embryos were successfully grown in the lab with the purpose of pigs carrying human organs this raised ethical questions of whether the pigs would then develop a human consciousness in the early 2000s scientists at the Shanghai second medical university successfully fused human cells with rabbit eggs to wolfdog another candid hybrid will discuss is the wolf dog the breeding of a domestic dog with the either gray or red wolf Ethiopian wolves or the eastern timber dogs and gray wolves especially share lots of genes populations of wolf dogs found in North America and Europe this usually results in rather healthy animals though their behavior patterns may be difficult to predict when it comes to whether they'll lean more towards being a wolf or a dog the same goes for their appearance because they're so genetically close it may be difficult deciphering wolf dogs from wolves so many wolf dog populations may be subject to phenotype assign tist can conclude which is which one growler bears a growler bear comes from what it sounds like the mixing of polar bears and their southern counterparts grizzly bears it appears these two types of huge bears have a lot in common genetically instances of girl or bears have occurred in both captivity and in the wild growing occurrence in nature as the Arctic warms forcing polar bears to retrieve further south to mate [Music]
