beefalo
Beefalo constitutes a hybrid offspring of domestic cattle (Bos taurus), usually a male, and the American bison (Bison bison), usually a female, in managed breeding programs. The breed was created to combine the characteristics of both animals for beef production.
Wholphin
A wholphin (portmanteau of whale and dolphin) is an extremely rare cetacean hybrid born from a mating of a female common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) with a male false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens). The name implies a hybrid of whale and dolphin, though taxonomically, both are in the oceanic dolphin family, which is in the toothed whale clade. This type of hybrid was considered unexpected given the sometimes extreme size difference between a female common bottlenose dolphin (typically 2 meters long and 300 kilograms) and a male false killer whale (over 5 meters long and over 1
żubroń
Żubroń (; ) is a hybrid of a domestic cattle and a wisent. The wisent ( in Polish) is the European bison; hence, the żubroń is analogous to the American cattalo. The name żubroń was officially chosen from hundreds of proposals sent to the Polish weekly magazine Przekrój during a contest organised in 1969.
Mulard
The mulard (or moulard) is a hybrid between two different genera of domestic duck: the domestic Muscovy duck (derived from the Muscovy duck Cairina moschata) and the domestic duck (derived from the mallard Anas platyrhynchos). American Pekins and other domestic ducks are most commonly used to breed mulards due to the breed's high meat production. Like many interspecific F1 hybrids, mulards are sterile, giving them the nickname mule ducks. While it is possible to produce mulards naturally, artificial insemination is used more often with greater success.
pumapard
200px|thumb|A pumapard, the Rothschild Museum, Tring, England (front view) 200px|thumb|A pumapard, the Rothschild Museum, Tring, England (side view) A pumapard is a hybrid of a cougar and a leopard. Both male cougar with female leopard and male leopard with female cougar pairings have produced offspring. In general, these hybrids have exhibited a tendency to dwarfism. ==Characteristics== Whether born to a male cougar mated to a leopardess, or to a male leopard mated to a female cougar, pumapards inherit a form of dwarfism. Those reported grew to only half the size of the parents. They have a l

Rackelhahn
The rackelhahn or rackelwild is a hybrid between the western capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) and the black grouse (Lyrurus tetrix).
humanzee
The humanzee (sometimes chuman, manpanzee or chumanzee) is a hypothetical hybrid of chimpanzee and human, thus a form of human–animal hybrid. Serious attempts to create such a hybrid were made by Soviet biologist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov in the 1920s, and possibly by researchers in China in the 1960s; however, neither succeeded.

yakalo
The yakalo is a cross of the yak (Bos grunniens) and the American bison (Bison bison, known as a buffalo in North America). It was produced by hybridisation experiments in the 1920s, when crosses were made between yak bulls and both pure bison cows and bison–cattle hybrid cows. As with many other inter-specific crosses, only female hybrids were found to be fertile (Haldane's rule). Few of the hybrids survived, and the experiments were discontinued in 1928.
caraval
The caraval (also called a cara-serval) is the hybrid cross between a male caracal and a female serval. They have a spotted pattern similar to the serval, but on a darker background.

Motty
Motty (11 July – 21 July 1978) was the only proven hybrid between an Asian and an African elephant. The male calf was born in Chester Zoo to Asian mother Sheba and African father Jumbolino. He was named after George Mottershead, who founded the Chester Zoo in 1931.

Dogxim
Dogxim, or Graxorra in Portuguese, was a female canid hybrid between a Pampas fox and a domesticated dog that was discovered in Brazil in 2021. The canid showed a mixture of fox and dog behaviours, and a team of geneticists led by Thales Renato Ochotorena de Freitas and Rafael Kretschmer announced in 2023 that she was a distinct hybrid genetically that "represents the first documented case of hybridization between these two [fox and dog] species".
Humster
A humster is a hybrid cell line made from a zona-free hamster oocyte fertilized with human sperm. It always consists of single cells, and cannot form a multi-cellular being. Humsters are usually destroyed before they divide into two cells; if isolated and left alone to divide, they would still be unviable.

Huarizo
A huarizo, also known as a llapaca, is a domesticated hybrid cross between a male llama and a female alpaca. The misti is a similar hybrid, a cross between a male alpaca and a female llama. The most common hybrid between South American camelids, huarizo tend to be much smaller than llamas, with longer fibre. Huarizo are fertile and capable of back-crossing with the parent species.
