10 – Hinny, • You’ve probably heard of mules, but

did you know if you breed a male horse and a female donkey instead of a female horse

and a male donkey, you get a whole other animal called a Hinny?

• This is actually the case with most, if not all, hybrid animals.

• The difference between the two is that Hinnys look more like horses and are smaller,

the size difference is thought to be because of donkey wombs being smaller than horses’.

• Funnily enough it’s actually quite rare to happen without artificial insemination

since stallions and jennys are both much more picky about their mates than the other respective

sexes. Ya know what this really reminded me of? That Spanish song that is about a burro.

9 - Leopon, • A leopon is what happens when you cross a leopard

with a lion and it has spots and a mane, although the spots are smaller and faded and the mane

isn’t as thick or majestic. • The first person to breed a leopon wasn’t

super successful, the lioness bore two cubs and one of them died months after its birth,

luckily the other survived for much longer. • All leopons were sterile until recently,

when someone managed to breed one with a lion-jaguar hybrid, which is called a leoliguar which

unfortunately I couldn’t find any pictures of, so I drew you an amazing picture of one

instead. 8 - Cama,

Do you like camels, do you like llamas? Well then have I got the animal for you, this little

cutie-pie is a cross between a camel and a llama and it was created to be extra fluffy

so we could get more wool out of them. • When the first cama was still young it

was riley and generally misbehaved, especially once it reached sexual maturity where it tried

to bang other llamas and a guanaco, whatever that is.

• Unlike many other hybrids, camas are fertile and have successfully been bred with other

camas in order to make many fluffy camas. 7 - Narluga,

• If you don’t like fluffy then maybe a narwhal crossed with a beluga might interest

you, I mean sure it doesn’t have a unicorn horn like half of its parents do, but it’s

still so happy to see you. • This is one of many, many arctic hybrids

that have spawned naturally because of the melting ice caps, it seems that the hybrids

are much more robust and better suited to deal with the relatively hot arctic.

6 – Wholphin, • When you take a false killer whale, one

of the dopiest looking animals around, and cross it with a dolphin you get one weird

looking mammal-fish, it seems that very little of the grace of the dolphin gets carried over

in this situation. • It’s very hard to get a wholphin to

exist, it’s difficult to conceive and tends to die not long after being born, but one

survived long enough to have offspring, making 3-quarter dolphin wholphins.

5 – Zebroid, • Zebroid is the collective name for any

zebra that’s been bred with any other equine animal, you know like donkeys or horses.

• The more specific names are amusing, try saying zedonk, zorse, zonkey, zebra mule or

zebmule without smiling, okay maybe the last two aren’t that funny but still you get

my point. • Zebras have between 32 and 46 chromosomes

and donkeys have 62, yet they can still breed with relatively few problems, which I think

is pretty damn amazing. 4 – Grolar Bear,

• What are the two coolest bears? If you answered correctly you should have said polar

and grizzly and they have been merged together through the power of sex into one of the cuddliest

looking killing machines on Earth. • This is another one of those hybrids that

were caused by climate change and it’s pretty astounding to see just how well it survives

in comparison to polar bears. • But this animal brings up an unfair point,

why do bears have to be cute? It’s like they’ve evolved specifically to make humans

want to hug them, thus providing them a free meal.

3 – Geep and the Sheep-Goat Chimera, • A geep is a cross between a goat and a

sheep and it’s amazing they can exist at all since they’re in totally different genera,

which is the plural for genus by the way. • But there’s an even more amazing animal,

instead of breeding a sheep with a goat a scientist merged the embryos of the two animals

in order to create a chimera. • The chimera has patches of wool and patches

of goat fur and no, it really isn’t from science fiction, I just want them to somehow

make a dog-cat chimera next just to see what it’d look like.

2 - Jaglion, • Take a jaguar bump it into a lion for

long enough and you’ll either have one dead cat and one alive cat, or several months later

you’ll get a jaglion. • It’s pretty crazy to see a lion with

such vivid markings on it, it almost looks fake, but the internet tells me it’s real

and why the internet ever lie about something like this?

• I just think someone needs to figure out how to make one a household pet, because I

want one, I mean it’d protect the house way better than any dog could, and its pretty

damn cool when you go around telling your friends “yeah I got a jaglion and no you

can’t pet it”. 1 – Liger and Tigon

• I’m sure you’ve heard of ligers before, but that doesn’t mean they’re not amazing

animals, I mean you take the two of the coolest animals and merge them together and it comes

out looking even cooler than you’d think it would, it doesn’t lose its main and the

stripes are as vivid as a tiger’s. • Unfortunately since they live nowhere

near each other it just never happens naturally. • Crazy enough, ligers actually grow bigger

than either tigers or lions, whereas tigons only grow to the size of a female tiger.
