12 Hybrid Animals That Are Actually Real
What is a hybrid animal? While you might think that hybrid creatures only exist in fables and myths, the truth is that there are a number of crossbred animals that exist both in captivity and in the wild.
Hybrid animals usually originate from two similar types of animals mating, like lions and tigers, but it is also possible to use science to create these creatures through a process called "somatic hybridization." Somatic hybridization allows scientists to manipulate the genes of two similar species of animals in order to create an interesting new animal that has useful traits from both of its parents.
Check out the list below for 12 real examples of incredible hybrid animals.

The largest animal ever lives in the sea. All species have a largest member. The list below discusses each of these largest animals on earth today.

According to random animal facts, chimpanzees have this same human characteristic. Learn more about koalas here.
