The naming of hybrid animals depends on the sex and species of the parents. The father giving the first half of his species' name and the mother the second half of hers. (I.e. a pizzly bear has a polar bear father and grizzly bear mother whereas a grolar bear's parents would be reversed.)
A mule is a sterile hybrid of a male donkey and a female horse.Mules are smaller than horses but stronger than donkeys, making them useful as pack animals.. In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, subspecies, species or genera through sexual reproduction.
A hybrid animal is one with parentage of two separate species, differentiating it from crossbred animals, which have parentage of the same species. Hybrids are usually, but not always, sterile. [5] One of the most ancient types of hybrid animal is the mule, a cross between a female horse and a male donkey.
A mixed breed is a domesticated animal descended from multiple breeds of the same species, often breeding without any human intervention, recordkeeping, or selective breeding. Examples include: Mixed-breed dog, a dog whose ancestry is complex or not known, also colloquially known as "mutt" [1]
A felid hybrid is any of a number of hybrids between various species of the cat family, Felidae. This article deals with hybrids between the species of the subfamily Felinae ( feline hybrids ). For hybrids between two species of the genus Panthera (lions, tigers, jaguars, and leopards), see Panthera hybrid .
Dogxim, or Graxorra in Portuguese, was a female canid hybrid between a Pampas fox and a domesticated dog that was discovered in Brazil during 2021. [1] The canid showed a mixture of fox and dog behaviours, [2] and a team of geneticists led by Thales Renato Ochotorena de Freitas and Rafael Kretschmer announced in 2023 that she was a distinct hybrid genetically that "represents the first ...
A human–animal hybrid and animal–human hybrid is an organism that incorporates elements from both humans and non-human animals. Technically, in a human–animal hybrid , each cell has both human and non-human genetic material.
Beefalo constitutes a hybrid offspring of domestic cattle (Bos taurus), usually a male in managed breeding programs, and the American bison (Bison bison), usually a female in managed breeding programs. [1] [2] The breed was created to combine the characteristics of both animals for beef production.
