Hybrid Animals
Wolphin
A wolphin is a rare hybrid formed from a cross between a bottlenose dolphin and a false killer whale. There are currently only two in captivity at the Sea Life Park in Hawaii. A wolphin's size, colour and shape are intermediate between the parent species. The first captive wolphin was Kekaimalu, which shows mixed heritage even in its teeth: bottlenose dolphins have 88, false killer whales have 44 and Kekaimalu has 66.
Savannah Cat
The savannah cat is a new and still fairly rare exotic cat breed that is the result of a cross between an African serval and a domestic cat. Savannah cats typically grow to weigh 25-30 pounds, which makes them as large as many domestic dogs.
Pink Featherless Chickens
"The new chicken would be lower in calories, faster-growing, environmentally friendly, and more likely to survive in warmer conditions, claims Avigdor Cahaner of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem."
