Interesting animal hybrids

Nature - an amazing master, from under the "brush" which sometimes come out especially incredible works. The latter include hybrids of animals, which, contrary to popular belief, often appear in the light naturally, without participation in this process of man.

Let's look at their most amazing varieties that can be obtained from the natural mating of individuals of two kinds.

The first on our list is a hybrid of a wolf and a dog. It is known that the peoples of the North appreciate the puppies born so far: because of the heterosis effect, they are larger and stronger than their parents. In addition, these animal hybrids differ in the dog's mind and in the endurance of the wolf. They, moreover, are extremely devoted to the owner.

All these qualities make the "dog dog" an ideal riding animal. True, only a very experienced rider can manage such a harness, since the hierarchy in the pack must be maintained with the most severe.

Equally important is the cross between a horse and a zebra. Such animals are called zebraids. They possess incredible stamina, which is often used for fraudulent purposes.

So, in the last century American bookmakers exposed a loud scam when these hybrids of horses were given out by their unclean masters for thoroughbred horses of the Arabian breed.

It's hard to say how they explained the small growth of their "Arabs", but they got rid of the remains of strange coloration, densely staining the groats of horses.

A hybrid of zebra and donkey is also common. The resulting animals possess the endurance of the ass, but it is very convenient for them to ride - a kind of "improved pony", which is characterized by an extremely peculiar coloring.

Everything would be fine, but zebroids are extremely stubborn, hard to train, and most of the offspring die the next day after birth. However, the surviving and trained hybrids of animals more than justify all the means invested in them.

Americans, long distinguished for their passion for breeding beef cattle, crossed the bison and the bull. As a result, the bifalo turned out, differing not only in its incredible size (the average representative is not less than a breeding bull), but also with impressive taste qualities of meat. It contains a lot of protein, is better absorbed and has a gentle and pleasant taste. As you can see, animal hybrids very often have high economic value.

Although nature itself, as we already said earlier, sometimes "breaks" those still tricks. So, in the late 90's in the north of Alaska was discovered a very strange polar bear.

Incredibly massive and powerful, he was sharp sharp and easily evaded all attempts of scientists to catch him.

In the end, he was able to put the sleeping dart off the helicopter with a shot. Having received the results of the DNA test, the scientists were in shock! It turns out that the traditions of the Eskimos and Indians about the cross between grizzly and polar bear are completely truthful!

Despite their genetic affinity, these two species occupy completely different ecological niches, avoid each other and very rarely find themselves in the same territory. Such cases can be fully justly recognized as unique.

In a word, hybrids of animals, photos of which are in our article, can appear as a result of a very rare coincidence of circumstances.
