Odd Animal Hybrids – Yes they are Real!

Oh Hai!

I was randomly searching for some cute animals in the news and came across these animal hybrids.  Of course I knew about the ligon and the zorse, but the rest are amazingly new to me.  Who knew?

“Hybrid, strictly defined, an offspring that is a cross between different species, genera, or, in rare cases, families. More loosely defined, a hybrid can also be a cross between parents of different subspecies or varieties of a species.”

- Encarta Encyclopedia

Wholphin – Cross between false killer whale and a bottle nose dolphin.

Liger – Cross between tiger and a lion.

Grolar Bear – Cross between grizzly bear and polar bear.

Zorse – Cross between a male zebra and a female horse.

Zonkey – Cross between a zebra and a donkey.

Jaglion – Cross between a male jaguar and a female lion.

Pumapard – Cross between a puma and a leopard.

Cama-Cross between a camel and a llama.

Beefalo – Cross between a cow and a buffalo.
