5 Hybrid Animals From Around The World

On this planet there are plenty of animal species that are very closely related. In some cases these animals are so closely related that they can actually interbreed and create hybrid animals but what are hybrid animals? Hybrid animals are animals that are the offspring of two different species. In this video i will be going through just a few of these hybrid animals as I will be going through 5 hybrid animals from around the world.

Our first two parent animals are the polar bear and the grizzly bear, these bears can hybridise to create the pizzly bear. Pizzly bears are very rare but can occur both in the wild and in captivity.

Our next two parent animals are both the giant grouper and the tiger grouper, these fish can hybridise to create the pearl grouper. This hybrid fish was created in a lab to supply the aquaculture industry. Unfortunately this hybrid fish has now become invasive in south east Asia.

Our next two parent species are both the zebra and the donkey, these animals hybridise to create the Zonkey. The zonkey can only be found in captivity and surprisingly this isn't a rare occurrence as many members of the horse family can hybridise with each other.

Our next two parent species are the green sea turtle and the hawksbill sea turtle, these two turtles hybridise but it is extremely rare. Both these turtle species are very rare so this hybrid turtle is one of the rarest hybrids.

Our final hybrid animal is the Liger. The liger is created from breeding a male lion and a female tiger.
