What other Hybrids might be created?

Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

What others do you think will come to exist?

Now I"m even better	These days we have: - Hybrid Iguana is single cross hybrid, result of natural inbreeding from male marine iguana and female land Iguana since late 2000s. - Equid hybrids - Mule, a cross of female horse and a male donkey. - Hinny, a cross between a female donkey and a male horse. Mule and hinny are examples of reciprocal hybrids. - Zebroids - Zeedonk or Zonkey, a zebra/donkey cross. - Zorse, a zebra/horse cross - Zony or Zetland, a zebra/pony cross ("zony" is a generic term; "zetland" is specifically a hybrid of the Shetland pony breed with a zebra) - Bovid hybrids - Dzo, zo or yakow; a cross between a domestic cow/bull and a yak. - Beefalo, a cross of an American bison and a domestic cow. This is a fertile breed; this along with genetic evidence has caused them to be recently reclassified into the same genus, Bos.[citation needed] - Zubron, a hybrid between wisent (European bison) and domestic cow. - Sheep-goat hybrids, such as the Toast of Botswana. - Ursid hybrids, such as the grizzly-polar bear hybrid, occur between black bears, brown bears, and polar bears. - Felid hybrids: - Savannah cats are the hybrid cross between an African serval cat and a domestic cat - A hybrid between a Bengal tiger and a Siberian tiger is an example of an intra-specific hybrid. - Ligers and Tiglons (crosses between a lion and a tiger) and other Panthera hybrids such as the lijagulep. Various other wild cat crosses are known involving the lynx, bobcat, leopard, serval, etc. - Bengal cat, a cross between the Asian leopard cat and the domestic cat, one of many hybrids between the domestic cat and wild cat species. The domestic cat, African wild cat and European wildcat may be considered variant populations of the same species (Felis silvestris), making such crosses non-hybrids. - Fertile canid hybrids occur between coyotes, wolves, dingoes, jackals and domestic dogs. - Hybrids between black and white rhinoceroses have been recognized. - Hybrids between spotted owls and barred owls - Cama, a cross between a camel and a llama, also an intergeneric hybrid. - Wholphin, a fertile but very rare cross between a false killer whale and a bottlenose dolphin. - A fertile cross between a king snake and an corn snake. - At Chester Zoo in the United Kingdom, a cross between an African elephant (male) and an Asian elephant (female). The male calf was named Motty. It died of intestinal infection after twelve days. - Cagebird breeders sometimes breed hybrids between species of finch, such as goldfinch x canary. These birds are known as mules. - Gamebird hybrids, hybrids between gamebirds and domestic fowl, including chickens, guineafowl and peafowl, interfamilial hybrids. - Numerous macaw hybrids are also known. - Red kite x black kite: five bred unintentionally at a falconry center in England. (It is reported that the black kite (the male) refused female black kites but mated with two female red kites.) - Hybridization between the endemic Cuban crocodile (Crocodilus rhombifer) and the widely distributed American crocodile (Crocodilus acutus) is causing conservation problems for the former species as a threat to its genetic integrity.Blood parrot cichlid, which is probably created by crossing a red head cihclid and a Midas cichlid or red devil cichlid - The mulard duck, hybrid of the domestic pekin duck and domesticated muscovy ducks. Maybe in the future there might be hybrids of: - Rattlesnakes/cobra's - Giraffe/Okapi - Chimpanzee/gorilla - Humpback Whale/ Blue Whale Who knows?

I'm wondering, who possibly thinks chuimpanzees have been around as they are for more than a few hundred thousand years? Wikipedia Chimpanzees split from human evolution about 6 million years ago Oh, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human-chimpanzee_hybrid

If they reach Texas or even northern mexico, we might start seeing vampires hybridizing with other bats there.
