Top 10 Hybrid Animals
|
Our editors have created a list about the top 10 hybrid animals. Hybrid animals are cross-breds between animals of similar genetics. They mostly exist in captivity and are the result of human intervention. |
|
10. Liger/Tigon
Though they are fascinating animals, they get the last of the list because they are the most popular known among the hybrids. Ligers are crossbreeds between a male lion while Tigons are crossbreds between a male tiger and a female lion. Ligers are the world’s largest cats. Tigons on the other hand, are prone towards dwarfism and are usually smaller than either of their parents. Male Ligers/Tigons are sterile while the females are often fertile. Below shows a liger and its trainer Dr. Bhagavan Antle at a Renaissance Festival in Massachusetts, USA, October 2005.

9. Wolf Dog
Dogs and wolves tend to crossbreed rather freely. The wolf is a shy animal depending on nuances in body language, facial expression and on hunting skills to survive. Their jaws are much stronger than those of a dog and are often used to exert dominance. For a dog wolf hybrid, it is not known when it will display a wolf behaviour or dog behaviour or something in between. Obedience training is a must in order to tame the animal.

8. Iron Age Pig
Domestic Tamworth pigs are crossbred with wild boar to create ‘Iron Age Pigs’. The hybrids are tamer than wild boar but less tractable than domestic swine and generally become specialist pork sausages. Most of them are bred for the specialist meat trade.

7. Zebroid
A zorse is the result of crossbreeding a horse and a zebra. A zonkey is the result of crossbreeding a donkey with a zebra. The Zony is the result of crossbreeding a pony to a zebra. All these three are called zebroids – defined as a cross between a zebra and any other equid. Zebroids are preferred over zebra for practical uses such as riding because of its body shape. However it is more inclined to be temperamental and can prove to be difficult to handle.

6. Cama
A Cama is a hybrid between a camel and a llama. They are born via artificial insemination due to the huge difference in sizes of the animals which disallow natural breeding. A Cama usually has the short ears and long tails of a camel but the cloven hooves of a llama. Also most noticeably is the absence of the hump.

5. Grolar, Pizzly
A grolar/pizzly hybrid is the product of a grizzly bear and a polar bear. Although the two bears are genetically similar, they tend to avoid each other in the wild. During 16 April 2006, a hybrid bear was shot dead by Jim Martell,a hunter from the United States, in Canada. It was the first time a hybrid was found in the wild where previous records of grolars or pizzlies have only been found in zoos.

4. Leopon
A Leopon is the result of breeding a male leopard and a female lion. The head of the animal is similar to that of a lion while the rest of the bodies carries similarities to leopards. The most successful breeding programme was at the Koshien Hanshin Park in Nishinomiya City, Japan. Leopons are larger than leopards and likes to climb and enjoy water.

3. Hybrid Pheasant
The Golden Phesant has commonly been crossed with the similar Lady Amherst’s Pheasant. The result is a hybrid with distinguished colors from its parents.

2. Wolphin
A wolphin is a rare hybrid formed from a cross between a bottlenose dolphin and a false killer whale. There are currently only two in captivity at the Sea Life Park in Hawaii. A wolphin’s size, colour and shape are intermediate between the parent species. The first captive wolphin was Kekaimalu, which shows mixed heritage even in its teeth: bottlenose dolphins have 88, false killer whales have 44 and Kekaimalu has 66!

1. Ti-Liger, Ti-Tigon, Li-Tigon, Li-Liger
The top spot goes to ti-ligers/ti-tigon/li-tigons/li-ligers because it is a hybrid among the hybrids. It is a cross breed between a male tiger and a female liger/tigon or a male lion with a female tigon/liger. Do note that female ligers or tigons are fertile. They are extremely rare and are in mostly private ownership within a behavioural studies programme. In the case of ti-ligers, they have unusual striping where it breaks up and display a blotchy appearance. Since they are 3/4 tiger, their characteristics inhibit more of those of a tiger than a lion.

Ok, the dog and the wolf are of the same species, so that’s strictly speaking not a hybrid, and it’s not very uncommon for them to breed at all.

Of course, the actual top animal isn’t listed; the mule. It is the most common hybrid, most useful hybrid on the planet, used for agriculture all over the world (even still in the US). Next to it is the henny (horse/jenny), again, a very common hybrid and still in common use for agriculture all over the world. Why were these two very common and useful animals excluded from your list? Seems like the list was made up by people who know very little about animals…

Michael Bergkvist is wrong. Dogs and wolfs are not the same species. Per MS Encarta, there are two species of wolf, “gray, or timber, wolf is classified as Canis lupus. The red wolf is classified as Canis rufus.” Whereas a dog is classified as a Canis domesticus. Clearly, not the same species but the same family, Canidea.

Jason is wrong and woefully out of date. Encarta is merely an encyclopedia, which is not a reliable source of up-to-date scientific knowledge. The various “species” of wolf are now all classified as subspecies of Canis lupus, and the domestic dog is now Canis lupus familiaris, the older classification has been deprecated. This reclassification was done in 1993 by the American Society of Mammologists and has been accepted, worldwide, by other mammalian taxonomists. Encarta is woefully out of date. Do not rely upon encyclopedias as sources of currently-valid scientific knowledge.

Dave:
“Bergkvist is right. The domestic dog is Canis lupus familiaris, a sub-species of the grey wolf, Canis lupus. ”
I believe it’s a mistake to present the domestic dog as a subspecies of the gray wolf. In the Society’s reorganization of Canis, it also reclassified the wolf as two subspecies–C. l. nubilus, (timber wolf) and C. l. occidentalis (Mackenzie or Tundra wolf)–neither of which have greater standing than the domestic dog, C. l. familiaris. Yet , in common usage, it’s up to the individual as to how he cares to regard the entire species: one of wolves, the domestic dog being a form of wolf; or as one consisting of wolves and domestic dogs, much as we regard Ursus arctos as consisting of the Kodiak, grizzly, and brown bear.

They suspect a chimp, and even apes and humans are too genetically different to create a hybrid. There was one case where a scientist supposedly succeeded, but the hybrid died shortly after birth. But even this story has no proof this acctually happened. Check out “Humanzee”. They thought it was a cross breed, but dna proved otherwise. They found it was just a strange mutation that happened in the wild.

Wolves and dogs are the same species, they are not a hybrid. You cannot differentiate them in any way, not even via a DNA test. However, through thousands of years of breeding humans have changed dog behavior significantly. You can keep a dog as a pet because they never “grow up”. Wolves do and that is what makes them a dangerous animal to keep.

This debate over the dog and wolf is silly. You can’t rely on taxonomists to determine genetic questions. Some taxonomists would say that a “species” includes any animals that can mate together, which would mean all of these examples are the same species. But others rely on looks or behavior.
Genetically, speciation takes place when two populations of a species are isolated and evolve separately. They may retain the ability to mate for a long time or lose that ability quickly — just a quirk of evolution. So llamas and camels, which have been separated for tens of millions of years, can mate, but other animals that are much closer cannot.
Dogs separated from wolves about 30,000 years ago. They are very different: dogs go into heat twice a year, wolves once; dogs exhibit “neotony” — traits that make them more docile — wolves obviously do not. Domestic pigs separated from wild boars more recently, so if dogs and wolves are the same species, then so are pigs and boars. Wolves can mate with dogs, but they can also mate with coyotes. Would anyone say wolves and coyotes are the same species?
In truth, “species” is a gradient, not a yes/no question. Wolves/dogs and humans/chimpanzees are at one end of the gradient; humans/trees or humans/bacteria at the other. It really is more semantics.
If this is supposed to be a list of fascinating or exotic hybrids, I don’t find wolves/dogs very exotic. But wolf-dog breedings were probably less common than we imagine. A malamute, for example, is genetically no closer to a wolf than a toy poodle. Sorry for the long comment.

Not true.

“The domestic dog is an extremely close relative of the gray wolf, differing from it by at most 0.2% of mtDNA sequence.”

That isn’t true. It was a mutated manx that people tried to pass off as a cabbit. Cabbits are highly admired in the Japanese Animation circuit cuz they’re so darned cute in Tenchi Muyo, but that whole story about trying to mate a rabbit and a cat is a hoax.

Randal: “Some taxonomists would say that a “species” includes any animals that can mate together, which would mean all of these examples are the same species. But others rely on looks or behavior.” When you don’t know what you’re talking about, don’t make things up. No taxonomist today will tell you that “a ‘species’ includes any animal that can mate together.” Worse yet, no taxonomist relies only (your implication) on “looks” or “behavior.”

No mules…grrr…I agree, inexcuseable. The fact that “domesticated” pigs, when released into the wild, tend to revert in physical attributes and behavior to be completely indiscernable from “wild” pigs in a few short generations, is sort of overlooked. Dog/wolf crossbreeds (not hybrids) are common; I’ve even seen fox/dog crossbreeds. And yes, they do make lousy pets; takes several generations to breed out “wild” traits, which believe me is a shame for those of us who dream of one day owning a house lion (although can you imagine feeding the damn thing?). Fish hybrids are probably more common than people realize; physically, it’s a lot more likely to happen in an animal which, essentially, does all its breeding externally. But to defend taxonomy: the definition of species is not “any animals that can mate together;” but suggests that animals that can consistently produce viable (i.e. fertile) offspring are within the same species. Big difference. A sidenote to this is that only females ligers/tigons are fertile, which suggests a much more recent divergence than, say, humans and chimps.

Ages ago, I was taught that the two animals were considered the same species if “if they can mate and the offspring is fertile.” So, not just mate — the product must be able to continue a line. The li-tigons, etc. belie this old rule. I’m just clarifying the outdated rule, not trying to assert it still applies.

Man the fish just got shafted in this article. You’d better not go swimming anytime soon …
There are bunch of manmade fish hybrids, and I suppose they are less interesting to people because it’s so easy to make them, just mix eggs and sperm in a bucket and you’re done. The Tiger Muskellunge, Tiger trout, Wiper, Saugeye, Splake Trout, and Cuttbow are examples.
Many of the coregonid fishes of the Great Lakes became extinct (theoretically) because their numbers became so low they were forced to breed with other coregonids, and hybridized with them until the larger gene pool just swallowed up all the genetic material for the extinct fish. I believe the process is called introgression, and it is a threat to many rare species.
Cool article. Somebody mentioned the neoteny of dogs as being “traits that make them more docile”. Neoteny refers to an animal which reaches adulthood (sexual viability) while retaining sub-adult characteristics. It has nothing to do with docility, although this is how neoteny is expressed in dogs. It’s a common evolutionary mechanism; the classic example is the Axolotl of Mexico, a salamander that remains an aquatic larva throughout it’s life, and never transforms into a terrestrial adult. It is controlled by the hormone thyroxin, and if given a Thyroxin injection. the axolotl will tranform into a bizarre adult salamander that does not exist in nature.

I owned a stub-tailed cat that had bred back to its father and produced 3 stub-tailed kittens. One of those kittens didn’t even have a tail and her back curved down. She couldn’t walk properly or move her hind feet independently, so she hopped – literally.
She was a happy little kitten and got around quite well, so I kept her (she was also the tamest – these were wild cats I was feeding and taming). Unfortunately, she had another problem common to a tailless cat – a prolapse of the rectum and I had to put her down. But if you had seen her hopping, you would have sworn she was a cross of some kind!

As a recent lab hybridization of two separate butterflie species (resulting in something very similar to a known, third butterfly species) shows, hybridization may be more common in the wild than scientists previously thought.
Hybridization can become important when a species is severely endangered. If there are no examples of one particular sex, the animal can be mated with near relatives. With extensive breeding, it may be possible to restore the species, or at least something nearly indistinguishable.
Yes, it would be better to not have to do this, but one does what one can.
For the record, a human ancestor after we split from the chimp ancestor did later breed for a time. Recent genetic tests have shown this hybridization occurred in our own deep ancestry.

And they have found a HALF HUMAN HALF GORILLA in africa, its name was snowflake, it died a while ago of skin cancer, and that might be total BS i saw it on the net but it does look kind of human, and there was another case of a gorilla with pink skin and blue eyes, its name was daisy i think. And you people who dont believe in hybrids are stubborn fags. And there have been many reports of a cabbit but they are all false, there is a breed of cat that has a furry stubby tail that looks like a rabbits. And just in case you care, ligers are so huge because the size limitation genes in lions are in the female, and in tigers in the male, so ligers have no limitation genes so they never stop growing during there lives. Tigons have 2 size limitation genes so they are extra small.

Nicholas Dollak said
June 21, 2006 @ 11:01 pm
Lots of great comments on this thread, and varying degrees of “expertise.” Regarding Dylan’s claim that Snowflake was half-human, well… although humans are a species of primate, we’re even farther apart from gorillas than we are from chimps, so a hu-rilla just ain’t gonna happen. Snowflake (and Daisy) was an albino. This happens about as frequently in the wild as it does among humans; but in the wild (or in a human culture that fears albinism) the albino usually gets killed by something early on, either by its own kind for looking different or by a predator who can spot it more easily. Among the big cats, they tend to survive, due to the fact that they’re top predators and usually take care of each other (they’re not as well-camouflaged, though). Dylan’s claim that the cabbit is a fake is correct, of course. However, attaching a sexual preference to those who stubbornly refuse to believe in hybrids is simply not good science and is quite rude — might want to watch it with those cultural stereotypes.
Randal and a few others brought up interesting points about the genetic differences between domestic dogs and wolves. However, he also mentions that some species either lose or retain the ability to mate with their “cousins” after diverging. Several have mentioned the ease with which fish hybrids can occur, and some have pointed out that some hybrids are sterile while others are not. It’s possible that defining a “species” is a bit like defining “intelligence.” We like to think that we know what we’re talking about; and within certain contexts we can form a frame of reference — that is, a working definition that works in that situation. But in the grand scheme of things, it’s obvious that we’re still figuring it out. Remember when we were taught about “pachyderms” in school? It took a very long time to remove that classification. They’re taking even longer to remove “race” from science class — another classification system based on hasty first impressions that in no way reflects the underlying facts.
DNA studies are a step in the right direction, but we are still a long way from figuring out how it all works. It’s possible that different-but-similar animals that can produce offspring could be considered sub-species of each other — but we have the puzzle of the liger/tigon in which males are sterile and females are fertile. For the purposes of classification, a new term may have to be coined to cover this interesting paradox. (Before reading this, I assumed that hybrids were generally sterile; the idea of gender-specific sterility within a hybrid group had not occurred to me.)
As for the zebra/other equine hybrids, I’m very surprised. I had heard that a “nearby” zoo has an animal of this sort (the person who told me of it couldn’t remember its name). I wondered if a group of quagga (thought to be extinct) had been found. But these photos, assuming they are genuine, definitely show hybrids. What surprises me is that it could happen at all. Zebras generally won’t mate in captivity; and when they do, they miscarry. An experiment was done about 10 years ago to increase the zebra population by using a mare as a surrogate mother for a zebra embryo. Getting the embryos wasn’t too difficult; but the mare’s body refused to recognize the embryos and kept rejecting them. The theory was that their DNA was similar enough that she SHOULD be able to carry a baby zebra to term, but different enough that her immune system saw it as a foreign object. Scientists in charge of the project resorted to sealing her in a “bubble” and shutting down her immune system. She carried the zebra to term. However, based on this, I would not have thought that a zebra/other equine hybrid was possible.
(Addendum: In addition to “morning sickness,” pregnant women often get quite ill during pregnancy, usually from bugs that hardly bother them ordinarily. I think the immune system is supposed to relax a bit to prevent miscarriage. This also benefits the foetus by “feeding” it a mild dose of antibodies — sort of a “starter kit” for its own immune system. I don’t know if a surrogate human mother needs to take pills for this or not; but the mare probably had no clue about what was happening, and neither did her body. Given this info, on further thought it seems likely that a naturally-occurring pregnancy from a union between a zebra and another equine might give the mother’s body a chance to go into “pregnancy mode” and carry the zebroid baby to term. Since other equines can deal with captivity better than zebras, the offspring might do just fine.

mtDNA is mitochondrial DNA & is distinct from nuclear DNA. mtDNA codes only for the proteins of the mitochondrion, the cell organelle responsible for oxidative phosphorylation, & plays no role in heredity other than this. mtDNA is derived only from the ovum & is used in forensic DNA fingerprinting.

Dr. Wallkin,
It’s not completely true that mtDNA is derived strictly from the ovum. Sperm contain some mitochondria, and its mitochondria are not always discarded. Given the overwhelming numbers of mitochondria in the egg vs. the sperm, and the rare nature of the survival of the sperm mitochondria, this is usually inconsequential.
Defects in oovum mtDNA mild enough to permit survival of the embryo yet strong enough to affect mitochondrial population diynamics could cause this to be a significant effect under some unusual conditions.

I can’t believe you people find this stuff “cool” and “awesome”, arguing if wolf and dog are same species.. Lion head and tiger stripes?? Is it worth of doing it?? Only in America!! If i was American, I’d be double-ashamed. Only Bush and his politics can be more stupid like this kinda experimenting. Yeah letz rule the world and go fuck with chimpanzes, COOOL! Or better letz do it with all animal species and maybe we’ll find out where are we comming from. Some would love to have these “products” at home like pets?!?! WTF? Why?? Have tiger. Have lion!! Aren’t they beautiful and stunning enough already?? I think at the moment, this kind of engeneering is ridiciolus – however when someone we’ll start messing up with human genom, we can all start to pray. We can only ask ourselves, what’s going on in some sh*** laboratories with a bunch of crazy scientist playing role of God. Oh right, it’s for better world, growing human arms on rabbits or ears on mices …Sure. For how long and for who?? Same story is how the pharm companies help resolving AIDS problem in africa. I won’t even start with USA and their war on terror. No, WTC didn’t fall becouse plain crashed into it, there are MANY powerfull evidences that there were multiple bombs exploding, dear god … Someone was buying put options on Boing just days before and got wealthy! Other had to hide some ugly “evidences”. Then someone took all camera shots around the pentagon just before 747 hit it?? Right. It just fits in hole. Someone had scissors in hand. Others “just” lost their famillies, loved ones. And NO, Bush isn’t searcing for weapons of mass destruction. DING?! Try listen to some retired afgan “veterans” (at age 21) who had problems with killing innocent fammilies, women, babies.. STupid stupid stupid! Thank god I’m living in a paradise country some could just dream about..

QFT
-its retarded to argue over what species are. there have been many standards over the years, all of them fuzzy, and its still that way. a wolf is not a (domestic) dog, nor vice versa: works for me.
-i don’t get what the mtdna stuff people were commenting on was about. mtdna can be used to estimate how long ago species diverged. not a lot more needs to be said.
-to KJ: hybrid animals are made around the world. ligers were made since pre-wwII. the liger in those pictures was actually accidentally made. you’re pretty much just showing that your country is just the jealous piece of crap we all know it is. also, what is WRONG with making a liger? Should the accidently made ones be put down because “god” didn’t make it? I guess you don’t much like dogs then, or cats, you wouldn’t own one i mean. Wouldn’t drink milk or eat beef. Or ride horses. or eat pork. no fur coats. These are all animals that we’ve messed with. we do it all the time. you think getting a shih-tzu from a wolf is fine but make a liger and we’re all going to hell. Grade A moran.

Oh dear… it seems the blog has found a conspiracy theorist! KJ, you forgot to mention that the KGB were behind the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II, the Polish Mafia orchestrated the sinking of the Titanic and the Bush Administration caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.
A little open-mindedness goes a long way; Would you, for instance, be so offended by the use of mules as beasts of burden? Without these particular hybrids, many farmers through history would’ve starved. How about hybridising different breeds of corn, rice and wheat to make hardier crops so as to withstand harsher climates? Does bouncegirl find this offensive? Also, with consideration given to the argument of where a breed ends and a species begins, could one define people of different ethnic origins as different species? If so, does the idea of marriage and copulation between races make you “Ashamed to be human” Mei?
People breeding such hybrids are generally not trying to play God, but simply trying to further understand the genetic curiosities of life given to us in the world He made for us.
By the way, the “chimp and human hybrid in the Whitehouse” and Napoleon Dynamite jokes are getting old.
Hope I haven’t actually offended anyone, and I recon the liger would beat a polar bear in a fight hands down, although, it probably depends on whose home climate they were in during that fight. I don’t know how a liger would stand up to the weather in the arctic circle.

We people find it ‘cool’ and ‘awesome’ to argue because it’s contructive. Evolution depends on communication. Often the animals with the highest rate of survival have the best communication skills (eg humans). I think you even answered your own sarcasm, “Or better letz do it with all animal species and maybe we’ll find out where are we comming from.” Well, that’s pretty much what’s trying to be done, to understand genetics and stuff better. Everyone has different opinions, and some people think that particular hybrids are more beautiful and stunning than non-hybrids. Who are you to dictate personal preference? Don’t bring religion into this debate, you have absolutely no proof that god exists whatsoever. You might retaliate with monuments, buildings, bibles etc. All of these are man-made, so get over it.
I bet you’d change your mind if you had a health problem, like a heart disease. I bet you wouldn’t mind having a heart transplant from a pig to survive then.
If you don’t want to cure AIDS, then get the f*ck out of the way for someone who does.
Why are you bringing 9/11 into this debate? Why? It has NOTHING to do with the topic.
I like how you don’t mention which country you live in, because there’s very few countries that can be described as ‘paradise’. Every country has murderers, rapists, pedophiles, con artists, drug dealers etc. Adn what’s worse is that every country has some ridiculous religious zealots like you that use some imaginary friend as a mental security blanket named “god” to justify everything they do.

KJ: Get over yourself. You are not the world’s moral police so back off Nature and humans have both been modifying living things pretty much forever.
Wolves and dogs are the same species, the best estimate for humans domesticating dogs is between 17,000 and 14,000 years ago which is no where near long enough for them to be different species. The math is pretty straight forward that’s roughly between 8,500 and 2,800 generations of domestic dogs (depending on what you consider a generation I went with 2 years for the minimum and 5 for the maximum), in evolutionary terms that’s a very short period of time.
Nicholas Dollak: You’re assumption about other equids not being able to carry zebra hybrids to term has a big flaw in it. When the attempt was made to use a horse as a surrogate it was a 100% zebra, genetically far too different for the horse’s body to accept (by the way sometimes women who are surrogate mothers for infertile couples have the same problem and that is within our own species). Now if a horse/pony/donkey is carrying a hybrid between themselves and a zebra, half the dna is going to be the mothers, that would significantly decrease the likelyhood that the mother’s body would reject the fetus.
About female ligers and tigons being fertile, that actually isn’t too surprising in the world of hybrids. Even a small handful of female mules have been fertile (it’s very rare but it happens). Since females get their genes for sexual reproductions from both parents and males only from one parent, that may explain why hybrid males are not fertile but females sometimes are. The male genes from the father are incompatible with the genes inherited from the mother, but for the female having a copy from each parent the genes mesh better. This is also why there are many genetic problems that show up only in males but not females, females have doubles of specifically female genes so if one is defective the other is typically dominant but with males there is no second copy of the gene to pick up the slack

kschlenker said: Seems like the list was made up by people who know very little about animals…
Seems like the list was made up full stop!
I’ve got a faint memory from my school days, specifically biology class: I seem to remember that the gender of the offspring is wholly due to the sperm as the ova carry only female genes but the sperm can carry male or female genes. As the male gene is dominant, an ovum fertilised by a male sperm results in a male embryo. Obviously, an ovum fertilised by a female sperm results in a female embryo.
If this is the case, why does the “Leopon” (result of breeding a male leopard and a female lion) have a mane? Surely that is a male trait which would not be carried in the female lion ova?
Richard said
July 28, 2006 @ 10:22 pm
The pigs, wolfdogs, etc are all the same species. Nothing amazing there unless you’ve never seen a dog or pig before. The cat hybrids and wolphin (and I assume zebroid and camel-llama) are different species because even though they can produce offspring, those offspring are infertile (either in 1 or both sexes). The bear hybrid brings up an interesting point in that two animals deemed separate species appear to be able to mate sucessfully. This means that grizzly and polar bears are more like different ‘races’ or ‘breeds’ of the same species. Altered by geographic isolation.
And about Oliver the Humanzee, DNA testing showed he is a chimp with a genetic condition making him rather bald. However his skin is now much darker and he appears far more chimplike (he is still alive, just looks like an old chimp). He spawned one of my favourite urban legends though, gotta love him.

All of the above animals are in a same family and hunmans are one advanced race that has ;Persay, no family amoung other animals, plus this site says at the bottom “Modified Theme By Beccary”…..beccary….ring a bell….. becary probably means beckham…..David Beckham made these animals then.

To anyone that says ‘who are we to play with DNA?! it’s against God!’ i say to you:
‘Shut your preach-hole, you arrogant ass!’
How do you know what God wants? Does he tell you over coffee in the morning while scratching his backside, in his boxers? it’s pompous and presumptious of YOU or ANYONE to speak for GOD. You are not God’s personal press secretary, so get over yourself and keep the moral high ground to your personal life. Something as awesome as gene-splicing / stem cell research / DNA Hybridization could be the first step to us finally evolving out of the dark ages where we still bitch and moan, kill each over over something as petty as ‘religion’. It can lead to greater technologies that will propel us years technologically (probably to at least where we aught to be right now). An end to cancer? Childhood Diabetes and Leukemia? Aids? You don’t think God wants us to evolve and triumph over these things? You had better be pretty sure of yourself before you make such an assumption with such certainty.
If God created us in ‘his image’, would we not be best to create as he has done?
I don’t understand the reasoning of religious people anymore. Their lives must be very trite, boring, uninspired, meaningless and hopeless. It’s O.K. to kill people of other religions because it’s ‘In the name of God’… but it’s not O.K. to create?

back to the whole argueing of the wolf dog being a hybird or not. So wolfs and dogs are technically the same species in the same family. The family canis, but then again lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars are in the same base family and basically cousins so does that really make them hybirds? And can we technically classify anything in a species of it’s anyhow in the first place due to science is just a bunch of opinions in the first place hence forthe the word “theory” in most things.

first off the liger is the most famous and coommon hybrid and second the wolf and the dog are not the same that is wjy they don’t have the same name. also if they where than that creature would look like a wolf or a dog. if you do not no what you are talking about than don’t post and save us the time of reading you made up fantasies.

And I talk in a southern accent and scratch my ass going “Hee-yuck!” and “Dang that there on strange lookin’ critters”. Wow. I didn’t mean to rant that much. Oh well. Nice learning about hybrids and people’s opinions on the morality of it as well as the biological side of it. Thanks for putting it up.

If you people who breed these these animals and love them so much relized what happens to them you wouldn’t think it was so pretty. Ligers, tigons and ti tigons and all the others, never stop growing. They get to the point were there body is so big that there heart can’t pump blood any more. The lucky one die qiuckly of a heart attack…but the unlucky suffer severe brain damage and enurizm. Not only do they have heart problems but most end up as side show freaks and suffer a horrible life in tiny cages. Yeah god said to keep breeding animals but not like this.. this is terrible. Would you breed with a monkey.. no I don’t think so ..why because its wrong. and so is this it needs to be stop…if they were ment to breed it would go on in the wild. Does it..no it doesn’t because it isn’t supposed to happen. and don’t try and tell me o its just evolution we are helping out.. for those commenter maybe you need to go back to science class and study evolution.

[...] Yes, like horses (chromosome number 64) and donkeys (chromosome number 62), or lions (38) and tigers (38). Hybrids are possible between closely related species — here is a cool list of documented hybrids at Wikipedia. My favorite: the wolphin, a cross between a bottlenose dolphin and a false killer whale. Here’s a top ten hybrid list, with cool pictures. [...]

November 26, 2006 @ 7:25 am
Ahhh, glorifying crossbreads and hybrids, mixing species and races has given us such lovely animals as the killer bee and pitbull. And no where its mentioned that tigons get tumors and die after a few years (ligons do not as far as i know) but let us as humans not fuck with nature unless it does it naturally. Interesting that some consider wolfs and dogs to be the same species, granted verey little seperates them geneticly but there are many differenses when it comes to behaviours, as dogs are polygamouse, wolfs monogamouse, (bet thats the explanation to why wolfs in many ways are so supperior eg 30% more brainconnections).

I’m normally not this harsh, but here, I’ll state myself frankly. If these nay-sayers haven’t noticed, humans are at the top of the ladder on everything-that’s why we’re experimenting on monkeys and not monkeys on us. Quite honestly we, as humans, can do whatever we want to do with genetics. I don’t care if it’s moral or immoral. For lack of a better term, we won the battle (of evolution/genetics) we can do whatever we want-who are animals to stop us?

November 29, 2006 @ 3:25 pm
I’m not well versed in the field of genetics though I’ve got a burning question on same issue. Here in Kenya there have been reports of stray male dogs mating with female pigs viz the case in July 2004 where a Mayor in Nyahururu town, Central Kenya ordered the shooting on sight all loitering dogs and pigs after mating openly in broad daylight. Just recently in my home town of Eldoret I witnessed a dozen male dogs mating in turns with a female pig that was certainly on heat. People of genetics can you please answer me. Is it possible that the pig’s offspring will have some percentage of dogs in it? I don’t eat pork or pork related products but I’m perturbed on account of those whose diet is centered on this Hotdogs meats. Someone answer me through ramadhaan@hotmail.com

you guys have way too much time on your hands. im only reading this stuff cause i was bored in class. but just for the sake of arguement. wolfs and dogs are basiclly the same species with minor changes. and there IS no record of a human chimp hybrid because one if there was the world isn’t ready for it so they woudn’t tell us, and two i highly doubt, even thought they are our “closest relatives to the animal world”, that a chimps DNA and our DNA is not close enough.

10. Liger/Tigon
Though they are fascinating animals, they get the last of the list because they are the most popular known among the hybrids. Ligers are crossbreeds between a male lion while Tigons are crossbreds between a male tiger and a female lion. Ligers are the world’s largest cats. Tigons on the other hand, are prone towards dwarfism and are usually smaller than either of their parents. Male Ligers/Tigons are sterile while the females are often fertile. Below shows a liger and its trainer Dr. Bhagavan Antle at a Renaissance Festival in Massachusetts, USA, October 2005.

Sarah said
December 14, 2006 @ 11:29 pm
The cross-breeding of species through human influence is wrong in the case of using them as pets. Too many people take them, thinking it is cool, and then up shoving them into someone else’s care because they were stupid. Also, about the whole canis Lupus adn Canis rufus deal, they all have the same gensus, which means they have the same amount of cromosomes so they can breed. Also, the Mule has been found to be fertile. I do not remember the year but there was a mule off spring by the name of Blue Moon that was the product of a male and female mule breeding.
Hybrids should only be made in order to help certain regions of the world. I also believe that harmful wildlife such as hogs, and hoses in Austrailia should be removed completely, for the reason that they destroy the land, and the food scources of other native animals. That is my comment. Take it for what you will. FYI, it is impossible to cross breed a human and an ape for the fact that they do not have the same amount of chromosomes.

If god had a problem with people mixing the DNA of animals then he would do something about it.

Yeh, go do that sientists, and be quick about it, im sick of walking to the shops.

Way too many idiots here.
Also way up there, Tigons aren’t really small. They reach normal plus tiger size.
Also Human/Chimps are similar and in theory could reproduce, or at least Humans and the one rare subspecies (The one Oliver was) could as Oliver did mount the one lady.
Also In theory, alot can be accomplished through hyrbidization and creating chimeras, but getting hybrids to take are really hard.
Also laughs at all the idiots who think photoshop was used on any of those pictures.
Also Humans & Dogs can have sex, but can’t produce a hybrid, they could make a chimera though, it probably wouldn’t live.

Humans have been crossing genetics for their own purposes for years: dog breeds. Yes, I know separate dog breeds are much closer than say a lion and a tiger, but its the same principle of humans manipulating genetics. Its the way it is because we “won” in evolution and are now the major species. Honestly, we can do whatever we want-who are animals to stop us?
Frogg said
January 7, 2007 @ 10:20 am
dam right vincent, if they didnt like it they would all rise up and strike back at us, then we would resist and the animals would decide on the ultimate exaple of irony and would create their own hybrid the likes of which have never been seen, and it would rain fire and destruction down apon us and then we would promise to stop and the war would end.

As for all you folks who want to piss and moan about how humans don’t deserve to rule this planet, perhaps you are right because even animals don’t kill their own unborn children for convenience’s sake.
Human and Great ape crosses? The last three presidents of the US have been living proof that those experiments succeeded.

I just scrolled down a lil and read a couple of comments, and a lot said that when they had sex with their dog or something nothing happened, and i saw a couple of explinations, but none really may make sense to someone who has no background in biology, so ill put it simple. A human and a chimpanzee can make a hybrid because our chromosome count is near the same. We have like 40 something chromosomes, i can’t remember, but whatever. The chimpanzee has a similar amount. Our phenotypical(physical) and genotypical(genetic, what is written on the chromosomes) are also similar, so a human and a chimpanzee can make a humanzee. Same goes with a horse and a zebra, or a lion and a tiger. So you can’t have sex with your dog and get pregnant nor can the dog.

I think people should do something special with wolves, make them look cute and cuddly while at the same time fierce looking like they really are. Wolves are my favorite animal. But with the crossbreeding, go careful, don’t overdo it please. Let at least some of the animals rest in their own pure breeding, but making new dog breeds would be nice, but still think carefully on making a cool wolf hybrid. Thank-you, you’re all awesome! ~red-head-hottie~

But lets be honest here, isnt the 2 day old cama one of the cutest animals you have ever seen?
I think so.
But listen to me, im talking about how cute the animals on here look and most of you guys are talking about the chromosones and all that science junk!
IF I COULD CROSS ANY ANIMAL I WOULD CROSS A .. liger and a zony because then it would be 4 animals together.

a lion and a tiger are in the same family too u doufus [reply to 1st post]

Just to clarify for those who have commented that they think it’s terrible for people to create hybrids and that it’s unnatural and we should just leave animals/nature alone – it does happen in nature too – without any human interaction so it’s not a horrible thing. There are several feline hybrids, Savannahs, Chausies, Safari’s, Toygers, Bengals, they have the look of minature wild cats, some have spots and some stripes – I think they are very cute. In these hybrids the males are usually sterile until the 5th generation also. In some like the Safari cat – it is a mix of a wild Geoffroy cat and a domestic cat, their offspring are much larger than the original cats, the Geoffroy is a small wild cat. Alot of these kittens from the first generation are premature because of the different gestation periods. The Savannah cat is a mix of an African Serval and a domestic cat – they are the largest domestic feline today – they are beautiful!

I like what CARBON had said he said it right on the Nose, Good Job CARBON!
this is what he said.
To anyone that says ‘who are we to play with DNA?! it’s against God!’ i say to you: ‘Shut your preach-hole, you arrogant ass!’ How do you know what God wants? Does he tell you over coffee in the morning while scratching his backside, in his boxers? it’s pompous and presumptious of YOU or ANYONE to speak for GOD. You are not God’s personal press secretary, so get over yourself and keep the moral high ground to your personal life. Something as awesome as gene-splicing / stem cell research / DNA Hybridization could be the first step to us finally evolving out of the dark ages where we still bitch and moan, kill each over over something as petty as ‘religion’. It can lead to greater technologies that will propel us years technologically (probably to at least where we aught to be right now). An end to cancer? Childhood Diabetes and Leukemia? Aids? You don’t think God wants us to evolve and triumph over these things? You had better be pretty sure of yourself before you make such an assumption with such certainty. If God created us in ‘his image’, would we not be best to create as he has done? I don’t understand the reasoning of religious people anymore. Their lives must be very trite, boring, uninspired, meaningless and hopeless. It’s O.K. to kill people of other religions because it’s ‘In the name of God’… but it’s not O.K. to create? /me takes 4 asprin.

Does Jason fail to realize the CANIS in all forms of his definitions of wolf and dog? Canis is latin for canine, therefore the dog and the wolf are from the exact same family, it’s common sense! Besides, where do you think the canis domesticus came from? the wild? Men were the ones to domesticate the breed. Don’t try to sound smart.

wolves are canis-lupus. dogs are canis-familiarise … wolfdog hybrids are just that… not only that… humans have bred dogs that what they consider perfection for certain purposses shep dogs guard dogs and so on … had man not started breding dogs in the first place their may just have been one kind of dog to this day…. canis lupus familiaris is what you get when you beed a dog with a wolf … so no bull dogs nor any other dog would be canis lupus familiaris //
now lets see what would happen if you cross canislupus with leapuslupus …. that would be a wunny wolbit wouldnt it ????

“I’m ashamed of being human”, “our species does not deserve to exist”? Who writes that kind of thing, just becuse we crossbred some animals? Look, stupids, the primary, defining characteristic of the human species is its ability to manipulate its environment, its not “playing god”, its performing the evolutionarily-derived maneuvers that have allowed a species with no natural weaponry, prolonged infancy and a weak physiogeny to become the world’s apex predator. What I find amazing is that enough people share my nostalgia for the natural world, that these other species, which are not useful in a practical sense are able to exist at all. Remember, you ancestors “screwing with things” is what allowed you to exist and therefore have the privilege of finding the rest of us so objectionable.

Believe it or not this could be the way we all began. So many people want to think this is something new the laugh is on them. It isn’t ! People are just getting board and want something to do.

CARBON: Your “opinion” is a true example of over simplification. I’m not a very religious person, but I am a man of science. How has hybridization of animal species helped us better ourselves as humans? This does not help us understand genes better than we already do. With modern science we can accurately predict weather or not two species from the animal kingdom our capable of hybridization with out actually testing it. I don’t think these people are trying to play God, but they definately aren’t going help “bring us out of the dark ages.” Our science is so far beyond this type of testing…it is pointless. If you are just another non-beliver trying to bash someone’s religious beliefs, save it!

Scientists probably shouldn’t be messing around with nature like this, artificially inseminating animals that can’t breed the natural way. Huge differences in animals disallowing them from breeding the natural way is nature’s way of preventing this kind of thing in the first place. People should stop f***king around with nature.

Whoever is arguing that these experiments are inhumane is an idiot. This is the pinnacle of scientific animal research and experimentation. If you’re going to argue, please take your dumb religion out of it, because in this day in age, religion is getting pushed out of politics more and more. Quite frankly, a lot of the newer generations don’t even believe in “God”. The only reason you people use religion as a scapegoat is because there aren’t any proven facts for argument, and you idiots have so much belief in it that the smart people who you argue with don’t wanna take the time to explain to you why it’s a bunch of bullcrap. Please, I’m asking you to not say anything if you’re going to have to use that 3-letter word in your argument, because it completely nullifies your point. Anyway, I’m fascinated at what these people are creating.

Has anyone watched the tv series “Dark Angel” ?
Its main characters are all human/animal hybrids with superhuman strength & abilities.
Maybe those who are forcing the hybrid breeding of animals are fans of this show.
“Dark Angel” is a work of fiction. Hybrid breeding doesn’t give Superpowers – just freaks!Just ‘cos these scientists like pretending to be God – doesn’t make them God.

Ya’ all need to know that the crossing animals resulting in “hybrids” in my eyes is just like the crossing races for humans. I don’t see anything wrong with either. If an animal wasn’t meant to be then it ain’t gonna be carried full-term by the dam. And hybrids being sterlie is as much of a possiblity as a pure-bred. What most of you don’t know is one-third if not more of the human population is infertial and two-thirds of couples can not conceive without help.
I myself own two beautiful wolfdogs and they are the smartest animals I have ever had the pleasure of adopting into my family. For those of you that don’t agree with these crossing and are bible thumpers ask yourself way would god let this happen and when you can’t answer it, ask yourself if you know anyone that is a mutt themselves. I am a mutt, I am native american, german, irish, and god knows what else, am I an Abomination since i’m not a pure-bred?
All I have to say is great over yourselves!!!

Hello, My name is TyLisa,
i think it is very wrong to hibrid animals becasue they wernt intended to be that way. When you do that to animals they have issues and dont live as long as normal animals do. I Feel really bad for the animals that have to die young for an expeiriment that some wacko decided to do.

I wonder if it would have the shape of a human with the brain of a bird or the other way around. Imagine if a bird had a human brain.

There was a supposed man-chimp hybrid sideshow attraction in the 70′s called “Oliver the Humanzee”.This turned to be a hoax.We are SOOO closely related that a hybrid would be as possible as a mule.Problem is that it would literally be a sin to create such a hybrid.In the godless days of the Soviet Union a scientist tried to create humanzee in a lab and in Africa.He was unsuccessful,but I feel with morer attempts at it he would have succeeded.He was eventually sentenced to Kazakhstan.It’s been rumored a humanzee was created in China.When locals heard about it,the mob destroyed the lab and killed the hybrid.What kind of rights would this thing have?The more human it was,the more rights it would have,I assume.For instance,if it could speak.It would most likely have the intelligence of a severely retarted person and look like an artists rendition of homo erectus or something.A Humanzee would be a fascinating beast,but I don’t think anybody has the nerve to attempt such an outlandish experiment.

Hybrids occur naturely and people have crossed donkeys with horses to get “mules/hinnys” for years and the domestic dog was once a wolf. So I don’t find anything wrong with wolfdogs, in all actuallity wolfdogs have a longer life span than a dog. They are smarter and more loyal.
Dogs breed with coytotes, wolfs, and any other canine in heat. There have been polar bears that breed with grizzly bears in the wild, a tabby and a bobcat have bred, wild Mouflon sheep and domesticated sheep on occation have bred when in proximity, and many others such as… Kangaroo-Gray and red cross, Hybrid Elephant- African and Asian, Chausie – Tabby/African Wild Cat, Beefalo – Cattalo – Zubron,
Polecat/Ferret, Yak Crosses, Pig/Wild Pig, Cama – Llamel, Bobcat/Lynx – Caracal – Servical and etc.
These animals in this collection really do exist. The development of these animals was by either human intervention, a freak act of nature or both. A genetic (or biological) species is defined by the ability
to produce fertile young. When individuals can interbreed and produce fertile young they are described as the same species. So in all actuallity hybrids are not freaks and should not be considered ae such.

A tiger/cheetah hybrid will have resemblances so it’s possibe. Refer to Ligers, or Leopons.
Offspring produced from mating a hybrid with a ‘regular’ amimal will result in a hybrid, since the hybrid is not of the same species.

A great many of you folks need to get a life….. except, of course, all of you who are so ‘ashamed to be human’- you should all do away with yourselves, thus solving your problem & helping decrease the surplus population.

Some of the natural hybrids are quite interesting. The golden pheasant X lady amherst pheasant is beautiful. Guppies are, well guppies and will cross with other livebearing fish at times.
Locally, DNA testing proved that bobcat X canadian lynx outcrosses have occured when 3 wild cats were tested with characteristics of both parents.
Humans crossing with chimpanzees or gorillas or orangutans or whatever ……… yikes ….. let’s not go there.

The pics are good.
Collection is commendable
impactr on eco is one concern.
disease generation (like AIDS) is also a concern
One Question:
Has it happened on natural mating or artificially inseminated.?
What if funky brainy fellow inseminates an innocent women with any animal semen?
Lets take care.

The last concern is, if its happening in tyhe natural course without human intervention, study needs to know whether it is for good or bad.

hmm, i did some research on this “humanzee” seems to be smarter then any chimp anyone has ever seen before, oliver was definitely more evolved then other chimps there fore maybe more and more chimps might be born like this making them smarter and more evolved… sorry i know that chimps and monkeys are different im just used to saying monkeys

hybridations is a magnificant thing (pardon my spelling). I belive we are starting a new era of animals from two species. I am highly intersested in hybridtation and have reserched on it alot, i am not amused with the highly stupid duds that childish people have made e.g. hudog, owlcat so on and so forth. one day i want to see a liger or a tigon in the fur but untill that day i guess i’ll have to stick with reserch.

Nature has a funny way of correcting itself. Many hybrids are created solely for the purpose of expanding our knowledge of genetics. Often times, the method used to create a hybrid is reproduced and many are sold as pets. These animals are lucky to have had a chance at life. Lets not forget that. Animals are killed for food and i see many complaining about the massive amount of suffering an animal undergoes through the many different processes necessary to create a hybrid species. Absolutely ridiculous. The worst injury may be an injured phallus or punctured ovum. Big whoop. Captive animals have no place in the wild due to their lack of knowledge of the wild. Thanks to so many different genetic experiments we have been lead into the world of Stem Cells. For those of you that regard scientists as pigs for “pretending to be god” you are all very ignorant. Take away science and the many perplexities required that eventually lead to the wonderous world of vaccinations and treatments and what do you have? Death. Very intelligent men and women are working very hard to vreate a better world for all of us. Unfortunately, many of these finds are exploited. Thus is the nature of man.
For those of you that disagree, enjoy a horribly boring life and painful death. quit using modern medicine and see how long you last. Make a difference, bury yourself alive so we can quicken the pace of science. Quit trying to combine science and religion! History has taught us that it is the organized religion that has been the largest disease and killer of man. You can believe in god and research as well. Genius idea eh?
We as humans are not mortally fit to judge man, so stop. Each and every comment regarding how science is playing god has been a judgemen, a sin, that all of you god fearing “im non-judgemental” hypocrates will pay for by your gods. Science is blessed by god. Examine your brains, if it wasn’t for science you most likely wouldnt be here.

These hybrids do look pretty cool and it’s kinda neat to imagine what 2 animals combined would look like, but there’s a certain point to where you gotta draw the line. I guess if there was a different/better purpose for doing it other than ‘to create a new species’ or ‘just to see what happens’ perhaps I would agree with it. Otherwise, it is playing God if you’re doing it just to tampir with God’s Creation and see what happens.

i think it is sad that people would artificially inceminate animals. I think if it occurs natrually that is one thing, but why should we cross animals that would never meet, much less breed together in the wild. Look at white tigers, they are not a normal species. They derived from a cross of tigers all branching from the same one, a white tiger found in the wild that would have died from starvation because it wouldn’t have gotten food. the tiger was breed to an orange tiger, produceing only orange tigers, only when it was breed to it’s granddaughter was there a white tiger born. Most white tigers have defects and these are put down for the most part because there isnt room in reserves for them. Why do people contine to do this to the tigers? it is because people like to watch them more than a normal, healthy orange tiger. If it happens in the wild, nature usually kills it, with people the animal may die, but after we have attempted to ‘save’ it and have prolonged suffering and it still will usually die, or will live in suffering. Whats even more pathetic is when people read this they admit to doing things to thier own pets. to them i say: may you be attacked by your pet and may it run away and find a good home while you rot for your sin.

So the “oh, this is horrible please stop it” comments are probably falling on deaf (or argumentative) ears.
Secondly, these animals are found all over the world. It’s not only Americans. And even if it were only Americans, it’s not any of your business unless we’re planning on building any army of ligers to wage war on your country. In which case, you better shut up or we’ll starting working faster…
Thirdly, I don’t think that anyone here is genuinely interested in the family, genus, species debate. If you are you can probably find a better place for information than a site where anyone can say whatever they want willy-nilly.
Fourthly, scientists are breeding these animals AND rearing them. No one is inseminating a lion with tiger sperm and then saying “Off you go, Good Luck!” These animals, while undergoing some admittedly strange experimentation are being well cared for and you can bet that more money is being spent on their well-being than most people get for theirs. (I realize that this opens up a whole new debate that I am not really interested in partaking in…)
Lastly, it’s interesting. Believe it or don’t. No one can tell you otherwise. Enjoy the pictures, soak up the information. And if something isn’t sitting right with you, find the appropriate place to voice your opinions, or a knowledgeable outlet for further reading.

And allow me, if you will, to elaborate on the phrase “people shouldn’t play god.”
No, people shouldn’t, cause we’re all morons deep down. But breeding is not “playing god.” God CREATED the animals from nothing. He CREATED Adam from the dust, which He made as well. (don’t argue about whether or not the Bible is real, I just hate it when I read the same dumb post over and over. This isn’t meant to be some religious debate)
People aren’t making these creatures appear by using their superpowers, thus they are not playing God. And please don’t argue about God being real or whatever, this was a post about hybrids, not religion.
So to sum up my random rants breeding isn’t playing god, so get over it.

September 28, 2007 @ 6:08 pm
to M: smart comment from a young adult (in fact smarter than the overwhelming majority of stuff that has been posted here) i kept thinking as i read all of this stuff that this “cruel experimentation” as so many have branded it, is no different from the experimentation that has gone on in nature for millions and millions of years. The animals that are alive today are a consequence of evolution and — in some cases — cross-breeding of older, perhaps extinct species. Nature has been bending and twisting and warping species into something new since the first paramecium was created a few billion years ago. If it didn’t, we wouldn’t be here having any of these discussions. That man has attempted to make a few of those twists himself is NOT god-like behavior as M has pointed out. God created animals of all sorts with substantially less material to work with. The ones that we have today are a consequence of natural laws that he created and put into place an eternity ago. On the other hand, if you don’t believe in God, then it is all a direct result of pseudo-random events. They aren’t totally random because the changes in the geology of our planet are, for the most part, a logical progression due to the cooling of the planet (there is some level of randomness, as the climate has been changed by catastrophic events such as asteroid strikes), and the animals that are alive today are a consequence of the changes in the atmosphere and temperature of the planet, as well as the local terrain. (For example, when the dinosaurs shook the ground, the atmosphere contained a lot more oxygen than it does today, and the temperature was considerably warmer.) Is it reasonable to assume that animals in the past did not cross-breed? No. And it is not reasonable to assume that they do not do so today. It is rare, however, because different species have different habits and different scents that either bring them together (similar species) or keep them apart (dissimilar species). And of course, there is also a question of basic geography. How do we know that a lion would not mate with a tiger in the wild? At the moment they don’t because they don’t live in the same places! Ditto for horses, zebras and ponies. So is man playing God? No, he is merely performing experiments that may or may not happen in nature because of environmental differences on animals that have differentiated from each other precisely because of those environmental differences. to the uneducated cretins who have decided to use this page as a means of trashing the US, these beasts were not made here in the US, for the most part. Hybridization of animals has been going on since long before this continent was discovered by the Europeans. And besides, is hybridization to create a new animal even comparable to the slaughter of animals to acquire ivory or hormones from a single organ for the purpose of having fun? As has been pointed out above, these animals and their off-spring have generally been well cared for so they have not suffered. The only negative point from above that i agree with is that there has probably been limited scientific value to this sort of experimentation, but we have learned a few things. And someday it might be important in understanding aspects of evolution. Oh, one last comment: to the fellow who has trouble with “long” comments: if your attention span is so limited, then perhaps you should return to reading something more on your level: McGuffey’s First Reader, for example.

Notwithstanding my lack of credentials in the fields of biological sciences, I would dare to advance (humbly) a hypothesis that the resurgency of gigantism in hybridization , in particular, the liger, may be an ativism to paleolithic ancestry,, a throwback as it were to a memory gene structure.
The earliest known lion ancestor is a form like Panthera gombaszoegensis from early Pleistocene (about 1.5 million years old) deposits at Olduvai Gorge in East Africa. It had both lion- and tiger-like characters. Primitive lions (Panthera leo fossilis) dispersed in the Old World about 500,000 years ago, in harmony with changing climate and the spread of steppe-like terrain, to which lions were well adapted. “Panthera youngi”, with similarities to both cave and American lions, appeared in northeastern China (Choukoutien) some 350,000 years ago or less. Probably it links Panthera leo fossilis and the “spelaea” group (cave lions of Eurasia and America) the other category being the “leo” group including the modern lions of southern Asia and Africa.
These pre-historic cats were of gigantic dimensions and I would question modern day hybrids as being completely “new” as opposed to the genetic content of their extinct common ancestors. Camels were North American in origin and existed in vast herds on the continent also. Also the horse was here too, and became extinct , re-introduced by the Spaniards.

on the human and chimp breeding topic – such precise chemical reactions combine at the forming of a zygote that a hybrid between two species is amazingly rare. The fact that we even have succesful hybrid species is an amazing thing- thus the reason that fertilization is rare during intercourse- and most hybrids are sterile. Scientists believe that the forming of a human species away from other apes and chimpanzees, from where we are believed to originate ( Darwinism) that the genes are not campatible, and will never happen.

Actually “Hitler’s Scientists” never tried to breed Chimpanzees with Humans. Just because they did a lot of screwed up stuff doesn’t mean they had no boundries. The Nazis were all about racial purity, so the idea of them wanting humans to breed with Chimpanzees is absurd, to be honest. This rumor was probably started because Joseph Mengles liked to torture female prisoners by showing them pictures of Chimpanzees as a threat. He never actually acted on this threat though, since it would be completely antithical to the actual goal of his twisted research (making the racially pure Over-man).
It was actually a Soviet Scientist, Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov, who actively tried to breed humans with Chimpanzees. He was preparing to inseminate human female prisoners in a Gulag with Chimpanzee sperm when he was purged by Stalin. The Soviets thought that a Chimpanzee human hybrid would make a strong compliant workforce which they could breed in droves to perform menial labor, thereby eliminating the need to feed and control their large gulag workforce. If succeeded then female gulag prisoners were planned to become “Humanzee” baby factories. IMHO the plan would have never worked, even if the breeding ever worked the Humanzees would be mentally deficient and probably prone to anger, as many mentally deficient humans are (Since their mental deficiencies are often very frustrating to them).

Humans have been experimenting with the biodiversity of animals and hybridization for thousands of years. We have cross bred plants and animals that would help keep other humans alive. modern corn, for instance, is a hybrid of several kinds of wild veraties. also cows were bred from wild steer to be able to produce many kinds of meat. richer meat, leaner, or simply more of it. if you go by the bible (which as a pagan, i do not) the animals were put on this planet to serve man kind in any way we saw fit. so it is ok to produce hybrids. ii persoanlly see no harm in the practise so long as the animals are properly cared for and are not released into the wild as they could cause damage to the ecosystem their.

You guys do realize that you could never cross breed a cockroach to a turtle or anything else so radical as that. The DNA is too different. Chimps and humans can’t breed together, our DNA does not match close enough, PLUS it’s unethical. It will never happen as long as some of the world is morally inclined. George W. Bush is not part chimpanzee, but one of the best presidents this country has ever had in such a time of crisis. You people should be ashamed of blatantly calling out the president on a forum about animal hybrids. Talk about being low.
As for the crossbred animals not being able to breed, this is most of the time for their own benefit. Most of the animals will be circus or zoo animals, living a life that would not be suitable for unwanted or extra offspring. Just think about it, would you rather have one liger in the zoo, or three li-liger/ti-tigon kittens laying around, perjaps mutated even further?

it is really sad that these animals are being bred. Aren’t people thinking about how this animals would live? It’s like cross breeding is destroying their natural abilities to cope with our harsh environment. Most of the breeders are just doing this for entetainment and if for a noble purpose, it is still a disaster because not all people are thinking the way they think. they might use their ideas in a way that will harm these animals or even us. Let us be open minded with this kind of issue. though they may help in some ways, but let us think of the long term effect to the environment, the biodiversity and to anything concerned. Though i am taking up biology, i am against this process. It is gradually killing the animals unconsciously.

Dude chill out. Some of these hybrids happen naturally in nature. Humans have been breading animals for desirable qualities for hundreds of years. Hell, animals have been breading themselves! They will look for the strongest, fastest, biggest, loudest mate – whatever traits they desire – and mate with that one.

Just to make it clear, dogs and wolves are NOT the same species. Dogs are Canis familiaris while wolves are Canis lupus. So they are in fact hybrids…they are however VERY closely related genetically and do frequently interbreed naturally.

All this back and forth about whether it’s a species or not… WHATEVER!!! All I know is that one of those Dog/Wolf combos attacked me one time when I was at a dinner party at someone’s house for NO REASON. I was waiting inside the house to use the restroom when he lunged at me and grabbed my arm. I immediately jumped on him and began strangling his throat while he still had my forearm in his grasp. The stupid fucking owner of the house (and dog) came in and got MAD AT ME for trying to kill her dog. I returned to the party (outside on the deck) with blood dripping down my arm. People who own dogs like that are idiots.

These comments about the wolf /dog thing…its abit too far for my liking. A wolf bred with a dog is basicly a husky..witch is a type of dog…
My friend had a husky witch was 99% wolf..but it was still a dog..soo there aint much difference between the two types…
I mean think about it…if its 99% wolf…and it aint even a wolf how do you know these speices are so different…or even different atall. Just because it has a different name and slighty different features, doesnt mean its a different speices. A Husky doesnt look atall like a sausage dog…but they’re still dogs for f**k sake…
Also…how do we actually know about what animals are orginal. Cause if we came from monkeys…then we’re hybrids aswell. So who can say what is right and what is wrong. A hourse could have been a something before it was a hourse…but we don’t have this type of evidence. For all we know…every animal ever to stand on this planet…could be a hybrid. So don’t say “crossing animals is wrong…”, because you don’t know f**k all.

I declare that “D!” skipped a few too many Biology classes. How do we know they’re different species he asks? Well there’s this amazing thing called DNA that we use to discover whether they’re separate species. And as for the comment of the horse having possibly been something before it was a horse… Guess what it was! A horse originated from a Hyracotherium (a horse like animal which existed around 55 million years ago). So mabey looking into a little biology, or science in general, would help before making such a strong statement.

I really thinkl that all this inbreeding is disgusting. To create white tigers, means that the offspring has a 25% chance of being good enough to show. And 75% of those has defects in their immune system that cause them to die very young. Thats on one out of sixteen cubs born, if the pregancy is successful, will be shown in a zoo. But then, pregancys are sucsessful only about a third of the time. That means that a perfect white tiger comes along one out of every forty eight tries. Those odds mean that all the other cubs that lived, but had phisical flaws are uthinized. Forty seven are killed for just one cub.
Having that many killed just in the breeding of two tigers, the same species, is just unethical and grotesque. Now, breeding two compleatly different species alone would be a feat. Having the pregnacy be successful, then having the cubs be born alive, then having the cubs survive illnesses, then having the markings right, then having them reach to full adult hood must be one out of hundreds.
These numbers are just immense. No human should ever kill that many for that one cross. There is not real reason to breed for that particular cross besides just something people look at, say ‘cool’, and move on. Breeding these animals by mistake which is just impossibal, or breeding them and taking what ever comes out of it, deformed or not, would be just barely acceptable, but to kill all but the perfect ones is just barbaric. These animals should not be bred.

you guys know that a bonobo is actually ours closet relativive it can learn easier than a chimp. the whole species also prefers to walk upright. they can walk upright for long distances and have the same sexual behaviors as humans. they are so aimilar to humans that zoo keepers get disturbed that they actually can communicate by writing without being taught. this is one of the reasons that they are rarely observed in zoo.

I’m reading the comments now, and I’m beginning to think of what most of you are saying.
Yes, there are ethical issues to be worked out, we get it, but don’t freak out.
Science will [almost] always have a reason to see what can and can’tcross-breed. I’m sure it’s to find out how closely related a species would have to be to be able to interbreed because perhaps there is a species out there with desirable traits that could make a human live longer, or more prone to diseases? That would be a plus dontcha think? And that would be a fairly good reason to do all this.
Also, for those of you who say this is animal cruelty, the parents aren’t being tortured. *rolls eyes* An egg cell is taken from the mom, a sperm cell from the dag, both are put in a pitri dish, swirled around, and put into the mother’s womb. Simple. And painless [sorta.] And yes, some crosses don’t work out and the poor baby dies, but they may not have been killed, per se. If the world thought this was cruel and sickening, it would be against the law and the people who attempted to cross the animals would be in jail for animal cruelty and such. So no need to get all worked up. Especially here. The maker of this site has nothing to do with the inbreeding of animals, just explaining and showing us the pictures of the animals. Kay?

Oops, typo in my last post. It’s supposed to say “Less Prone” instead of “More prone”
Please don’t think I want us to be more prone to diseases.
Also, perhaps the cure for cancer is the genes of a different species and we can only be able to use the gene if we had 99.99% genetic similarity to us humans. Just a though.

[...] GRIZZLY BEAR PLUS POLAR BEAR MAKES PIZZLY BEAR. DNA analysis has confirmed that a bear shot in the Canadian Arctic in 2006 was a half-polar bear, half-grizzly hybrid. While the two bear species have interbred in zoos, this is the first evidence of a wild polar bear-grizzly offspring. And now a new pizzly bear has been spotted on Victoria Island where thirteen grizzly bears are living much more northernly then usual. Jim Martell (pictured at left), a 65-year-old hunter from Idaho, shot the bear on the southern tip of Banks Island (see Northwest Territories map), the CanWest News Service reports. Wildlife officials seized the bear after noticing its white fur was interspersed with brown patches. It also had long claws, a concave facial profile, and a humped back, which are characteristic of a grizzly. Now the genetic tests have confirmed that the hybrid’s father was a grizzly and its mother was a polar bear. read on here >> [...]

Second, some of these bloggers are pretty lame.. if you don’t like what you see, don’t look! Whats with all this “Lets not play god now” its crap and hypocritical!! Everyone plays god once in a while and others swallow it! “Oh Im so ashamed of being a human” WHO F*CKING CARES.. If ur so ashamed, put and end to it. GOD! Don’t like science? boy are you in the wrong planet! God gave us the tool, I say use them! If were gonna complain about experimentation, lets take care of Michael Jackson first..

I’ve heard a lot of talk about evolution. However, hybrids tend to show the limits of evolving. Sure, some evolving has gone on but how many millions of years do some people add on to each instance of evolving species to explain how it happened? How much time would you have to add on to get these different species to actually be able to reproduce? (which most hybrids are not capable of?)
Also, have you noticed that when species hybridize, it is possible to LOSE the diversity of the species. Take for example, the barred owl and the spotted owl.
So, we were supposed to have evolved upward? More order out of chaos, huh?

I think that hybrids are really intresting though they can be really curel. Because what if the animals is really dangerous and that has to be kept in a cage and then everybody comes and looks at it. I think that I is really mean and there shouldn’t be a crossing a gentics. Because later in the futre this could just cause trouble with genes. Though the good, thing is that mamal’s, like us. And our cousins, which are monkeys good fix genes and then using these genes you could be able to help people that have problems with their genes. So this is a good and intresting idea though it is also a very bad idea because then people could start to reproduction and rapping animals that are inccoent to see what would happen when they reproduce. So i think that my final thought is that to carry on breeding hybrids but, for them to we endangered, and to teach about them at schools so that people can understand them and why they are crossing genes to create species.

to be honest i dont think any of this is ethcally or morally wrong you all sound like your adults in the middle of your life and you have been argueing about this for along time but the real answer is if it occurs naturally in nature then it was supposed to happen who are we to question he powers of nature it is just creating new species for the world you may not understand it now and people may not understand in a thousand years but honestley and truley no-one not even man can tustle with nature we will loose, and going on from previous arguements if it can breed it can tecnically be classified as a species of its own to be an animal all it must do is breed move and have to find its own food if it can do this then it is a species and why would an elephant be crossed with a jellyfish they have to be similar to another species like a horse, zebra donkey and pony their cant just be an animal totaly randomly come out of the blue from a whale and an ant it just is not physicaly possible if their chromosones cant pair together properley you will have a very deformed animal if the ovule can be fertilised at all ………….. by the way im 14 just to show that age has nothing to do with how smart or mature or adult like you all are hope this proves topical

although some of these creatures were created by human scientists, it’s not originally created by them because they “want to play God” but because it actually happens in the wild, for example the liger wasn’t created by humans, and other hybrids, it’s due to natural selection.

Hey, I love you very much “dog lover” and maybe you’re right to be cautious. However I think if these animals love each other and are in a stable relationship then what the heck?? let em breed!! There’s too much pressure on young couples these days what happened to “all you need is love”?
On the other hand I certainly do take offence at some people on this site who have suggested Wolves and Dogs are the same? Pleeeeeeese!!!! Wolves are just so uncouth, you can’t take them anywhere and they certainly can’t be trusted.
I dated a wolf once, a canadian, he said he was 100% gay, till I caught him with the bitch next door! And he had bad breath!
Never again.

There is definitely something wrong with this idea of cross breeding.
If the animal becomes subject to the immoral curiosity of man, who knows what could happen.
If the animal does not partake in such activity on its own time in the wild, then such activity should not be forced upon the animal in order to delight our visual senses.
Something is wrong with this.

Dogs all came from wolves. The type of wolf is unimportant (gray, timber etc.) They were domesticated 1000′s of years ago. Then, through select breeding we got the 100′s of breeds of dogs from the Irish wolfhound (the largest dog) to the Chihuahua (arguably the smallest breed of dog) Yet, all are descendants of the wolf. There is no argument here. And the dog and wolf can and do interbreed quite easily. The slight differences in DNA are a result of eons of domestic breeding. You’d find the same differences in domesticated cattle or fowl or any other species. You’ll even find a slight difference in DNA between timber and gray wolves for example. And there are NO confirmed fox/dog crosses. They are not the same species. So if you see fox/dog crosses for sale be very wary. The seller is unscrupulous.

I’d just like to remind everyone that we are only animals just like the rest of evolutions creations, therefor anything we do is nature (not some bastardisation of god’s will). There have been countless forces of nature that have influenced evolution throughout time and we are just another one of these forces acting on the world around.

Dude, (2 spots below me) I just saw on the history chanel (like 13 minutes before i posted this) that there was a russian man who tryed to make human/chimpanzee hybrids to prove to the church that it was evelution, not creation. He almost did it when he tryed to inject oragatang sperm into a human woman. the expariment failed when the man was arrested by the govement for these expariments. Modern scientist also say that Human/Ape hybreading is imposible because humans/apes have grown slowly farther apart on the evelutionary chain in the last 50,000,000 yrs. scince the ancient forms of human/apes stoped hybreading with each other and it is no longer possible to do today.

“People are f*ck*d up! Why can’t we just leave animals alone. Why are we always trying to play God? And I love how this rare breed of bear was killed by a hunter. So typical Humans Suck!!!”
-I agree with the first part you said, but I think it is just SICK to say something like “I love how this rare breed of bear was killed by a hunter” just because it was a hybrid or some shit like that. Seriously.. they are still animals!.. Living things that feel pain and have feelings.. the best answer would be to not create them in the first place because it would just eliminate all those problems right where they started. But still.. in a way I do kinda think that breeding to get those kinds of hybrids and breeding different animals or species(and don’t even get started on the definition of species again!) is interesting.. just because it’s quite interesting to find out what the ‘cross-breed’ would look/act like, but I also definitely think that the max. amount of hybrid offspring you should produce is about 3 or something. You can let those hybrids live for as long as they will, and you would still have the answer(of what the cross breed would be like)! The thing I don’t understand is WHY some people just keep going on with the cross breeding even though they have already gotten hybrid offspring… and then at the end they’ve produced like 10!
BTW Small Onion… I’m a hybrid! And NO I’m not american haha… I’m half german and half chinese and live in Spain. No I’m not joking! =P

First off, Nicoli, we studied this for a project and look at the domesticated dog’s family, Canidea, more commonly known as K-9. Theese cannot breed with our family, Primates. It’s physically impossible, but I can easily tell you probably got the idea from the mythological lupo manero, or the Werewolf. Cool.

March 27, 2009 @ 5:27 am
I don’t necessarily feel that it’s wrong. Animals have become what they are from the root stock that split, that’s what true evolution is. People tend to think of evolution as the theory of evolution, but evolution actually just means change. If there was no change, there would be no dogs, just wolves.
No one has said a thing against mules in thousands of years. They are mentioned from earliest times and they are hybrids of a donkey and a horse. As long as the animals are of the same actual species, they will breed, even in the wild, if there are none of their own kind to mate with.
Goatalopes (goats and pronghorn antelope hybrids) have been around for a long time. Both are of the goat family. All of the above animals are of the same family group. They’ve not created puppy cats or anything that’s not of the same species to start with.
It’s not unusual out west for a big horn sheep to get in with a herd of domestic sheep and breed. I have a friend that raises sheep in Colorado and a wild bighorn got with his herd and he had several lambs born from it.
Many who object are basing that on religion, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The bible does speak of unnatural matings, that are forbidden. But I do believe that would mean crossing actual species, not the different subspecies of a species.

wtf people. you should be disgusted by this, and not because of god. You should be disgusted because these animals may have unforeseen health problems. Even some domesticated animals that that are bred to the same species( let alone these animals bred with other species) end up with severe anomolies in their genes that cause them to have short, painful lives or make life harder than it should be and all because people just MUST have a certain trait. What right do we have to cause these animals undue pain and health issues? Would your pet to have out the ass health issues like that?
And I would also like to point out that none of theses poor animals dams or what the hell ever the technical term is their moms, asked some nerd with rubber gloves to up to his elbows to shove some splooge into her vajayjay,???I think not my homo erectus brethren, therefore it’s like raping the poor animal.
I’m all for cross breeding plants, but NOT ANIMALS!! If only because animals feel pain, and I think have personalities.

Well here is my probably very unpopular thought…as humans slowly drive some species to extinction, perhaps it is our job to create new ones to take their place? Mother Nature (or God) would not let us if we weren’t meant to try, and learn, as lond as no pain is caused. Please remember that both these higher powers are much stronger than us, and trust me, if what we are doing are not in the plan, it would not happen. If we are all to die out because of some freakish mutant results, then that is also the plan…who cares, the planet will go on and change like it has for millions of years.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, the film that Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin made in 1967 in Northern California at Bluff Creek of Bigfoot was real. Here is what they filmed on October 20 1967. Several thousand years ago there were thousands of slaves that ran off around the world and started their own countries. When these slaves ran off there was a large group of men and boys of all different ages and sizes that took off and ended up in Africa. Some of them were giants as tall as 9 ft. or even taller. The giant named Goliath that David killed with his slingshot was 9 ft. tall. So there were giants in those days. Some of these men and boys went exploring to Borneo and caught female Orangutans and took them to South America and had sex with them and created the Indians. The men and boys that stayed in Africa caught female Gorillas and had sex with them and created the Africans. When scientists found the bones in Africa they thought we evolved naturally from a female Chimpanzee. But it wasn’t a natural evolution it was a man made evolution. That’s where all the Bigfoot and Orangutan creatures come from. They are half man and half Gorilla and half man and half Orangutan. They use to call the Indians the red man. The Orangutan has reddish hair. When those men bred out the hair the Indian’s skin remained red. The Gorilla has black hair and skin. When those men bred out the hair the African’s skin remained black. Some of the Indians and Africans are tall. And some of the Bigfoot and Orangutan creatures are tall. They are tall because some of the men that created them were tall. Scientists believe that we evolved naturally from a female Chimpanzee. Have you ever seen an 8 ft. tall Chimpanzee? I haven’t either. Bigfoot migrated up through Africa and came into the United States at the top of Africa when they were connected by land. The Orangutan creatures migrated up through Central America and came into the United States like the Indians did. The creature that Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed in 1967 was half man and half Gorilla. It was a female Bigfoot that they named Patty. Patty was not a man in a costume, she is not our missing link and she is not a figment of our imagination. Patty was a creature that was created by men that had sex with female Gorillas and Orangutans a long time ago. Believe it or not, man created his own evolution.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, in 1915 the world’s population was just 1.8 Billion people. In 2009 the world’s population is 6.8 Billion people. In the past 94 years the world’s population has increased by 5 Billion people. That’s only one lifetime. In 500 years that will be 25 Billion people. If there is poverty, starvation, global warming and a hole in the ozone layer now, what do you think it will be like in 500 years? Man in literally destroying the earth and himself by over populating. Save your generations from suffering a miserable and horrible end. Stop creating and if you have children tell them when they grow up not to create. Please help spread this message to the entire world. Byeyouall, Jesus

Why, WHY, mix animal species?
Because it’s fun and we’re able to?
It’s so unethical to breed these weird hybrids. Animals that would never meet in the wild. Or animals that, if they met, wouldn’t be able to mate. Why do it? Can anyone answer this question?

The hybrids are controversial, but we have to open the mind is part of the biological science and is not a damage for any animal, is accepatble, the born of new species happens naturally too, is not an aberration, is more common than the most think. Think abou it!

I haven’t read all of the posts, but early on there was much talk about human-chimp hybrids. We don’t have the same number of chromosomes as chimps do. This makes producing hybrid offspring (fertile or not) very difficult. Yes, we’re very similar genetically-speaking, but those similar genes are not organized in the same way with respect to chromosomes. Regarding dogs and wolves, there are some great recent studies showing the genetic mutations responsible for the traits we see in specific breeds of domestic dogs (colouration, short legs, ridgebacks, etc.). So, not only are dogs and wolfs genetically different, so are different breeds of domestic dogs. Most would have realized this as the characters move from parents to offspring within breeds fairly reliably. However, no one can tell you how many genetic differences are needed for two groups to be considered distinct species. Regarding whales – two species of porpoises (in a group called “toothed whales” along with dolphins, orcas and even the sperm whale) hybridize here in the Pacific northwest. I have no idea about the validity of the wolphin though. Scientists playing God? In most cases we’re talking about zoo-keepers, not scientists.

Very interesting article. I enjoyed it. :3
And to all of you arguing over whether dogs are wolves and wolves are dogs, yadda yadda. Think of this. Are wolves wild animals? Yes. Are demesticated dogs wild animals? No. Slapping a fancy name on something and then saying that it’s ‘scientific’ and ‘correct’ has just about as much meaning as a toilet in a junkyard. Who even knows if it’s correct? Not humans, not us. We’re so incorrect there are some grown men I know that still have to wear velcro shoes. :\ If someone took a boat-load of human beings and stranded them on some tropical island with no clothes or food, they’d probably manage to freeze to death.
People think they have it rough if they get a broken nail, but little do they realize that there are some other sharers of the planet that are going through worse, like having some ugly bird tear out their insides while they’re half alive, all because of their genetics. Yeah. And those girls that fit that Cali-girl stereotype thought they had it rough.

A chimp/human hybrid has been made, and no it’s not Bush, it would be OBAMA! Look at that chimp face he has. Lol it’s hilarious. And as far as it’s not fair to the animals, almost all of these breeds have taken place in the wild as well as in captivity. And saying a wolf and a dog aren’t hybrid, wouldn’t that make a cat/tiger not a hybrid or a cat/lion not a hybrid or even a cat/ocelot (which IS a breed) not a hybrid? Get your heads out of your asses. This was just something cool to see.

Why are people so obsessed with asking whether humans played God? Most of these crossbreeds happened naturally (with the sole exeption of the cama).
All four of the large cat species can interbreed, though with lower success rates than true breedings – and the female crossbreeds are even fertile. (Males aren’t, though.) Which even led to some three-species crossbreeds. And even though they don’t usually happen in the wild, this is mostly due to the fact that the habitats of the various species do not overlap.
Dogs and wolves and even jackals can breed with each other, producing fertile offspring.
“Iron age pigs” can happen quite naturally, too. Especially where there are wild boars around.
Crossbreeds between the three equine species are often the result of breeding, but they happen in the wild or even accidentally in captivity wherever the different species meet.
The polar/grizzly hybrid mentioned above was found and shot int he wild.
The wolphin was actually a big surprise to the park it was born in. Everybody expected a normal dolphin to be born, only to be proven wrong. Although the wolphin was bred in captivity, it happend the “natural” way in every other respect. Wolphin #2 is, by the way, the second child of the first (female) wolphin. (Her first baby died shortly after birth because the mother was too young and not yet ready to take care of a little one – she refused to feed, showed no interest.) FYI, the second living wolphin is 25% false killer whale and 75% dolphin.
And pheasants – they crossbreed routinely. Still, some crossbreeds are sterile.
The only crossbreed resulting from IVF (or any other method but “put them together and see what happens”) is the cama – and only because of the difference in size. South American camel species can and do interbreed with fertile offspring, and the same goes for African camels.

just because they can dont mean they should br bred together ! thats how we get less of one species !
there are enough animlas in the world to worry about, not having a life it should have due to humans being “borred” so they think of stupid ways to manipulate the wild life !
and yes the wolf and dog are part of the same family and or related ……cuz of the interlocking breeding of the 2. dogs are wolves that r domesticated ! but like i said just cuz the 2 can be bred dont mean it’s right ! ppl should stop messing around with things they have no business messing around with in the first place ! and to think we r related to monkeys is absurd !! and to think of ppl trying to mate with one is even more disgusting and mental. !! aniamls should be left in the wild where they belong and there should be no more hunting, unless for food, other wise, what do u think cause the extinction of the dodo and the cave bear, and over half of the tiger species and what they r doing to those poor seals. is horrible ! how anyone can love fur and killing helpless creatures is beyond me ! animals were created to marvel at, not to become someones poor science experiment ! that same with these puppy mills ! the goverment allows them cuz they r not illegal. the only ppl that should be breeding dogs are registered repituble breeders who ahve a right and care about the breed and where its going to !
all i have to say is i am ashamed to be a human ! but i would be equally afraid to be an animal !! it takes 100 dumb animals to make a fur coat, it takes 1 to whear it, now is that fair ? those furs were once pets, stolen for the fur trade ! so a person ahs no idea what type of fur they r wearing !!

Can an animal “Species” just be defined as being reproducable with each other? Would that take the argument out of all the differences of opinions of what is a species? What if we just call them a “kind” like the Bible does, Each came forth one after the other based on the KIND (of animal).
It seems that could be the simplest definition just from reading all the arguments of what is a species etc.
The whole speculative natural occuring mutation argument of DNA changing to allow a new species is highly theoritcal, or if not what did these new mutations breed with? e.g. if monkey went to man, who did the first man breed with? Doesnt make much sense. And what other system in nature do we find that intelligence and order is added to something except but through mans theory of mutation? Name one other system we see this improvement of order of things to any degree even minutely as complicated as DNA code?
Try to refrain your hate for people who question a theory that says ‘from nothing came everything’, and your ancestory was a rock (and then lightning and thunder a “primordial soup” created that first bit of life)… anyone seen monkey magic? LOL.
“Time and the pure essences of Heaven, the moisture of the Earth, the powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a certain rock, old as creation. And it became magically fertile.
That first egg was named “Thought”. Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha, said, “With our thoughts, we make the World”. Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it then came a stone monkey.
The nature of Monkey was irrepressible! “

while humans and chimps may not mate – they may not be our closest kin – it is possible and illegal to cross human and sheep or goats. So maybe they are our closest kin since we CAN crossbred with them. This does NOTmake us the same species just because we can cross breed. No artifical breeding is needed like most of these exotic animals.

Wow, four years of comments on the Top Ten Hybrids. Interesting but brief article from the 10 May 2101 Anchorage Daily News:
http://www.adn.com/2010/05/03/1261131/bear-killed-by-inuit-hunter-confirmed.html
I think these rare hybrids should be off limits to hunt, even by Inuit. The guy will get a lot of money from the pelt, and at least in Inuit society, no part of the animal is wasted.
When I was a girl being raised on a farm, we found an injured Rock Pigeon, the kind that resides in almost every city, and nursed it back to health. He could not fly, and lived in a wooden house attached about knee high to a tree in our huge yard. He could flutter up to the house and back down, and he became a beloved pet.
Later, a mourning dove, also injured was brought to us to be restored to health. She and the pigeon bred and unusually colored hatchlings resulted.
Pigeons do not typically mix with other birds while feeding or congregation, but mourning doves will do so, sometimes quite readily with a few other species.
Our unusual hatchlings were quite beautiful, having the chunkier body of a pigeon but their coloring leaned more toward the dove. At the time, over thirty years ago, my parents contacted an ornithologist from the nearby state university, and he confirmed that these hatchlings were indeed a crossbreed of pigeon and dove. I can’t recall if he was able to tell us whether they were hybrids or not.

The dog origanally came from a prospector in Alaska. It was a very old black and white, I forget the year 1930-40′s.

get over it you guys are whining too much! jesus i like bread so im gonna go make me a sandwich….with chicken. chicken that my friend killed (he owns a farm). chicken thats a hybrid! fricken good meat too. its a buff orpington rhode island red cross. soem good stuff hell yeah.

Cheetah-red fox maybe too much of an immediate gap even if they engineer it & inseminate it into a well mannered female Cheetah. I mean they would probably succeed but genetic malady is more likely & so may not be worth the risk. I guess you would have to go Cheetah to Bobcat hibred & that to offspring to Ocelot & Ocelot to fox & back to fox & then maybe eventually engineer a few extra Cheetah genes back in. Until you get a good species established.

To mikael Berk. (Sorry can’t spell your name…) On page 1, comment 1
Dogs and Wolves are NOT the same thing, true, their gene’s are simular, but not the same. Wolves are Canis Lupis (Or Canis Rufus if it’s a red wolf) but dogs are Canis Familiaris. It’s like comparing a human with a chimp. Are we related? yes. Are we the same thing? No way. A Siberian Husky is no more of a wolf than a Pug or Poodle. Or a Puggle unsurprisingly.
Sure, you can cross breed them but we could do the same thing with us and Chimpanzee’s, but we don’t because that seems ethnicly wrong to us. (Not to mention that if something had the intelligent of a human and the strength and aggrension of a ape it would be a problem…)
Sorry to say that it IS uncommon for them to breed.

Um..most of these hybrids have been found naturally occuring in the wild. Or did you miss that part? The polar/grizzly bear hybrid was found in the wild. And it’s not uncommon for a dog to get loose in the forest and mate with a wolf. Happened with my friends Siberian Husky. Had Siberian Husky/Wolf mix.
You need to read more and learn more before lashing out with false comments on these hybrids all being “human experiments”. If anything, people like you make me ashamed of being human. We can’t even learn the facts before we open our big mouths and throw out uneducated slander.

“Many of the coregonid fishes of the Great Lakes became extinct (theoretically) because their numbers became so low they were forced to breed with other coregonids, and hybridized with them until the larger gene pool just swallowed up all the genetic material for the extinct fish. I believe the process is called introgression, and it is a threat to many rare species.”
by corey
-some people need to get their head out of their asses and realize that this process is called evolution. Species vanish while other progress and evolve. there have been many different species of humans until we came along, some even co-existed with us (neanderthals) but we were the dominant ones and our DNA took over, it’s the course of nature,

Ligers are amazing animals. Probably one of the most beautiful animals in the world. The cross-breeding many people say is not a natural process. This is a very stupid notion. Because 10% animals in nature are naturally cross-bred, while 30% of the plants in nature are naturally cross-bred as well. Therefore, it is just very stupid to mention that ligers are just cross-breed product which is not a natural process. If nature does it, why can’t we….. answer it….. you stupid animal rights activists……………………… who claim tigers’ population is 3200…………. yeah true but they don’t mention in USA only there are 20,000 tigers alone in captivity…….

[...] Sia la Ligre che il Tigone sono animali assolutamente mansueti, con costanti sbalzi di umore tra euforia e depressione, incapaci di difendersi anche quando minacciati e incapaci di vivere in condizioni naturali, sterilità a parte. La ligre in particolare (risultato dell’incrocio tra un leone maschio e una tigre femmina ) é di dimensioni spaventose a causa della mancanza di un gene che ne limita e stabilizza le dimensioni, andando verso il gigantismo: basta vedere le foto! Il tigone invece, rimane di taglia molto ridotta proprio perché sono presenti quei geni di entrambe le specie. Come succede coi muli, anche questi animali sono sterili ma pare che sistano voci anche di ibridi naturali tra leoni e leopardi, potenti e veloci e straordinariamente abili nell’arrampicarsi. Per godersi altre foto di ibridi, suggerisco questo link. [...]

I believe that humans natural curiosity can be quenched without the destruction of life, Scientists experimenting with hybrids is just the beginning. Humans have been trying to see what they can create, relevant or not humans interferance in the animal kingdom has saved many animals from going extinct, so ‘KJ’ I mostly agree with you except I don’t understand where the pentagon comes in? “Only Bush and his politics can be more stupid like this kind’ve experimenting.” I do agree that some of the experimenting has developed without the proper ‘procedure’, but scientists don’t just go out there and go with it, scientists do extensive reseach on the subject before approaching an animal, all of these scientists are experts in the genetic analysis fields.
‘Nicholas Dollak’
Thank you for your knowlege, you seem competant in this subject, I appreciate it.
“DNA studies are a step in the right direction, but we are still a long way from figuring out how it all works.”-DNA is a tricky subject, because of the many exceptins and amendments that have been made to even the most basic rules, therefore cannot explain what nicholas calls a ‘paradox’, which is the best word i’ve heard by far to describe it.
“I wonder if any successful breeding has happened between humans and chimpanzees, our closest relative.” I cannot put a name to the quote because it was said by so many people, my opinion on this matter is that a chimpanzee-human cross is not needed, ecspecially if their lives are short lived.
I’m sorry for the long comment since no one has reported since 2006, I needed to get my opinions out in case they helped.

Just goes to show you how evolution works. A naturally occurring Grizzly/polar bear found in the wild.. come on.. mass extinctions and evolution are connected.
The reason a Horse and Zebra can breed is because a zebra is a horse.. its just a different kind of horse like a pit bull would be to a wolf…. its just a few hundred thousand years further down the line. Also if you research natural hybrids more you will find it doesn’t always end up in sterile parents.. sometimes the males are sterile.. sometimes the females are sterile.. sometimes both.

I was reading some comments from 2006 and I saw this guy who said wolphins are not real because false killer whales are not whales but dolphins. First of all, dolphins are whales. There are a few characteristics that decide if they are dolphins. Plus, there are different species of dolphin so the false killer whale can breed with bottlenose dolphin. And BJ (I hope you don’t mean that in a bad way), I don’t think there’s any stopping that.

ALL OF YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT! hybrids occur all the time in nature. Yes it’s true that most are malformed and sterile but not all. Some few continue on and create new species of their own. If man is a part of this process or not is irrelevant, because it has, does ,and will continue to occur with or with out us. To assume we have the deciding vote only proves our own arrogance and stupidity. I agree that we are not God but evolution will continue despite us. If we can control the path that nature takes then we will survive longer as a species but in the end it is only a matter of time before we are replaced by the next best thing. It doesn’t matter if that thing is created by us or by the natural evolutionary process.

I think its fairly obvious that most of us are already hybrids. It occurs naturally and Im not talking about the sheep and donkey lovers out there (we all remember that Donkey who chased the man in the field making a pleeaaze sound)-pretty disturbing sht! Its roumoured that fallen angels were able to breed and create monsters before there were only reptiles and eggs/single sex beings. This implies that they were from somewhere else anyway (humans) How MONKEY could come from an egg I dont know but theres just a hint of this in the program Monkey..? There is nothing new only that we dont learn that this isnt what we’re supposed to be doing. It leads to the confinement, slavery and experimentation that we ourselves would not like to be subjected to and judgement at the end, even if we judge ourselves or cause our next existance. I feel deeply sorry for pigs who have quite a high intelligence and I feel the joke is that they are humans crossed wth another animal. I am now vegitarian at the thought of ths. I know Im boardering on fiction or science-fiction BUT deep down we know there are upper classes (supposedly) who all look the same there are about 5 different types, from outer space, then there are sub groups of people with animal resemblance. Then theres the type thats bread underground! That may be where the missing people go.
One more thing! In Monkey … The monkey flies… (angel/hairy man/magic man) they are not evil they are mischievous and learn slowly. Isnt this why a mans child grows slowly. Because we are less intelligent. Other animals see the universe and themselves as one. We see ourselves!

Dogs and wolves are not the same species thanks to an alteration in their DNA from the sands of years of seperation. When and if the scientist alter the human gene sequence we could tap into the unconcience part of our brain and reach our full potential as true and proud human beings. Science has done amazing things for us and this is one of em. If you dont wanna accept what is happenin then stop looking this up and get a life. If mankind didnt deserve to own this world and mankind is so horrible then why did your ‘god’ put us here. I will leave you with this to think about,
“If god is all knowing, all powerful and can do anything then he should be able to make a rock that even he cant lift, but since he cant lift it than he is not all powerful. And if he cant make that rock than he cant do anything. If god was all knowing he would have known how manking would turn out in the future. Therefore god is not all knowing, all powerful and does not exist.”

Dogs and wolves are now classified as the same species. Timber/gray wolves are Canis lupis and the Domestic dog is Canis lupus familiaris. I don’t know if the spelling is exactly right, but that’s how they are being classified now. Gray wolves are wild dogs with bigger jaws. If you let loose a german shepard and wold together in the wild, after a few years the only difference would be the color and jaw shape. they’d act the same, eat the same, hunt the same, sleep the same. Dogs are the same as wolves………

And to Gambling Man, who said that God should stop us from doing what he doesn’t like:
God gave us free will when he made Adam and Eve. If you’re going to try and harp on God and Christianity, read the Bible so you know how to argue it correctly. God knew that people would turn out this way, to evil or to science instead of to him. That’s why the world will end and Jesus will come back to take those who still truly follow him. Everyone else that turns from Jesus and from God and to Satan are who will inheret the dying Earth, along with Hell.
*Science has done great things, Hybrids are real, but it is still testing God to alter an animals natural abilities through genetic engeneering. Breeding isn’t sinful, as its natural. But going into the cells and implanting DNA of an animal that would never cross with the creature you’re altering is wrong. Real, but wrong.

Amen Kyleigh. I’m not sure if I agree with her last two sentences, but I’m not going to argue.
And to all those with your wild humanzee ideas, let me tell you something. IT WOULD BE WRONG TO TRY, AND IT WOULDN’T WORK!
In Gen 1:24-26, God creates beasts and wild animals.
In Gen 1:27, God makes man and woman IN HIS OWN IMAGE!
I don’t see anywhere in verses 24-26 where He makes animals in His image. No, He calls them BEASTS, and WILD ANIMALS.
We arn’t related to any animal. Our closest relation other than humans is God. We are His children, made in His image. Animals aren’t His children. They are blessings given to us from our Father.
And to most of you, this means nothing, because to you I’m basing my argument on a fictional book.
And telling you that it’s not fiction wouldn’t change your mind, but I’m still going to tell you that it is wrong to try. Leviticus 19:19 says “Do not mate different kinds of animals” and i’m pretty sure most of us would agree that apes are animals, I’m not so sure however how many of you believe we aren’t animals. And to any of you who say “the Old Testament is for history and history only.” or “O yah, well verse 19 also says “Don’t plant your fields with various seeds!” Chapter 19 is of various laws. I don’t understand why God doesn’t want us to plant multiple kinds of seeds in one field. But most of the laws still stand like DON”T KILL, DON’T STEEL and so on.
Oh America! Most of use on this page are Americans, and America was originally given to use from God as a refuge, so that we could be free from religious persecution. And yes, you are also free to give your opinion, ‘like you all have’, but me, and all the others who have tried to stand up for what this country was originally all about I give you a round applause. And when people who don’t deserve to be Americans put you down remember Matthew 5:10, ‘Blessed are the those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
If You don’t agree with all I’ve been saying, you most likely believe we are all from a boll of goo. Random chance MACRO evolution. (I know we’ve been seeing some evolution in these animals on this page, but that is MINOR, some thing God allows. But God also has limits.)
So all you accidental people, who are from a cell which gained information after being formed from an explosion, which was formed from something which came from who knows where, and where the material to make that came from, not even God knows where: May God send you some one who through HIM will open your eyes so that you may someday know the truth.
I feel sick after reading the first two pages, and yet not standing up would surly be wrong.
So God be with you all, and if you would like to talk email me at joshuaahlers@gmail

Why do we always find new ways to f*#c with nature. Do we not have other things to figure out instead of just the randomization of genetics.

Wolf and dogs are 2 different species, by an alternative definition of the word.
A species is most commonly defined as an animal that can be born and will reproduce with other individuals. Wolves and dogs wont commonly reproduce because they’re too different when it comes to behaviour. A dog wont interact with wolves during normal circumstances, it’s not impossible however. It is believed that the dog evolved from a sub species of wolf, but is not a wolf for the time. This is referred to as a phylogenetic species. There has been done tests and the conclusion is that you can’t tame a wolf. A captive wolf will become aggressive and may attack and try to escape as it grows even if it is kept with other puppies and treated the same way.
Also some claim there are no difference in the genes of a dog and a wolf, this is false. There’s more difference in the genetic code of wolf and a dog than there is between a human and a chimpanzee.
Also those who asked about a chimpanzee human hybrid. This is difficult mainly because there’s ethical problems when it comes to research involving humans. Because of the difference in size it would have to be carried out by a human since the chimp wouldn’t be big enough to carry a human like fetus. Also it would be sterile since we have less chromosomes.

Tigons as some of you think are not dwarfs in anyway they average around 400lbs about the same as their parents, 30 seconds of research can prove it.

That’s horrible…people need to basically force them to breed, and most hybrids don’t live long, die , and are only used to get money. Those idiots.
Also, to
Mikael Bergkvist :
Domesticated dogs are not the same species as wolves. Wolves are Canis lupus ( Gray wolf ) or Canis rufus ( Red wolf) , whle domesticated dogs are Canis familiaris.

a killer whale and a bottle nose dolphin aren’t that unlikely to breed because killer whales are really part of the dolphin family. so, there’s that.

Hold the presses. I just saw in a field in central Belgium what I thought were cows. Upon closer inspection it looked they they were a cross between a cow (50%), a pig (30%), a sheep (12%) and a reindeer (8%). Could it be that maybe some experimentation happened long ago and these animals are decendents? I’ll tell you this: these animals are not what you would call a cow; they exhibit pig behaviour, too.

I don’t know about this hybrid stuff. I think it is sad. They say do not toy with mother nature because you don’t know what will happen. All the horror movies or at least some of them dealt with this issue and the result wasn’t good. Maybe this money should be spent helping to save the different species the way mother nature had them. I don’t know because I am not sure I like what I am seeing.

Yup, must be American, watched a documentary on wild cats, even these unnatural, man made beasts were being let go into the wilds of America. Tigers, lions, ligers, tions… whatever and What the F#%k? Seriously, why get these cats if you can’t handle them, just like why make these cats if there’s no specific used for them? When man plays god, bad things happen and it will all fall back onto the creators of these freaks!! Mankind is such a sad race that these people cannot really see and enjoy the beauty of nature, there’s no need and I really can’t see the point of creating these so called hybrids.. Stupid..

Aside from this last sicko nicoli ( always a few ), man is still trying to validate a worn out theory on evolution of man.
The closest complete cross of any kind is the horse/donkey to mule and mules are sterile! End of story! Any crossbreed needs to be able to reproduce on it’s own. Even then it’s only a variation, not a new breed!
Dogs are still dogs!
And God is still laughing.

Ok, the dog and the wolf are of the same species: WRONG, THEY ARE THE SAME GENUS.
, so that’s strictly speaking not a hybrid, WRONG AGAIN! A HYBRID CAN BE MADE BY CROSSING DIFFERENTE GENUS OR DIFFERENT SPECIES OF THE SAME GENUS.
and it’s not very uncommon for them to breed at all.
Happens all the time in northern scandinavia, sweden, where I live. BECAUSE THEY HAVE GENETIC COMPATIBILITY
ASSHOLE, STUDY SOME GENETICS BEFORE POSTING STUPIDY.

disgusting! animals are not toys to be experimented. They were created not to combined with other animals, that is why they are different to each other. why not try yourself to have son from a gorilla so that you feel how gross is it!!

Urgh it’s distgusting to see people marvel at the results or forced copulations, copulations that cannot naturally occur and matings that occur in zoos only due to the horrible unnatural conditions zoos produce.
It’s sickening.

Very interesting article. I have read that hybrid animals live longer than animals in general.Is that connected with some better genetic fitness? Have a nice day.

The last are simply not possible. ALL hybrids are 100% sterile. As for the wolphin, killer whales are technically dolphins, therefore it’s not a whale/dolphin mix, it’s a dolphin/dolphin mix. The writer seems confused about some of the names too. It’s a zedonk, not a zonkey. The male always comes first in the naming of the animal.
Also, as homosapiens, we are nothing more than animals ourselves, though we hate to think it. What gives us the right to design our own animals? Is this not usurping the role of God?

I’m surprised there was no mention of the well-known gopher/duck hybrid, the gophuck. The gophuck himself is not pleased at this omission.
