This video comes with a lot of links because I wanted to get permission from the artist
to use the photoshopped animal photos. Because of that ALL LINKS are ordered at the bottom.
This includes source links, and photo links for fake animals. I think I only sourced the
real image of one real animal and it was the narluga because there isn’t a real photo
of its existence so I attached photos of the animal skull.
*Top 10 Scary Animal Hybrids Caught On Camera*
There are some mixes between animals where you are like, no way, that’s.. that’s
a bit far fetched man, and they ARE true, but yes, there are also plenty of photoshopped
animals out there. I learned how to photoshop a squirrel's head onto a bird when I was eleven
and I bet people can do it even better at even younger days now.
So today I, your host Abbey, am going to give you the truth. Top 10 Real Animal Hybrids,
but for every one I say is real I will show one or two photoshopped animal images to keep
you entertained. Thesephotos come courtesy of gyyporama on instagram, that’s G Y Y
P O R A M A. So let’s hop into top ten Scary Animal Hybrids
caught on Camera shall we?
10 Cama Let’s start off with the Cama. This is a
cross between a camel and a llama. While you may be thinking, okay, this isn’t too wacky
- I need to remind you the stats on both parents of this creature. A llama weighs 130 to 200
kilograms, or about 300 to 450 pounds. In comparison, a dromedary or one humped camel
weighs 400 to 600 kilograms. That’s about 900 to 1300 pounds! Twice the size! So now
we are all thinking how, I will tell you it was done *sciency* through artificial means
and the biggest success story was Rama the Cama, who lived to be 14 years old. Now that
we’ve seen a Cama, let’s look at another Llama hybrid, the Swama. Ah, yes. Majestic.
I can imagine it now, flying, before nosediving when it sees I have snacks. Stunning.
But onto another real one at number 9 Narluga Now, while this one wasn’t caught on camera,
we do have a photo of the skull (link below for editors) and there have been photoshopped
interpretations of a narluga. The skull was given to researchers by an Inuit hunter that
was part of a group that caught 3 of these whales during a subsistence hunt. The blend
of narwhal and beluga was described as “uniformly gray, with pectoral fins shaped like belugas’
and tails shaped like narwhals” on ScienceNews.org. It was confirmed through DNA analysis that
the mother was a narwhal and the father was a Beluga, and these are said to have not been
spotted since. But, it’s important to note that humans don’t frequently visit the Arctic
to whale watch for research or otherwise. And okay here I promised it, have a funny
photoshopped animal. This is a beluga horse hybrid. Again majestic. But the balance makes
this one hard to believe. I mean, it looks bipedal but has no arms to balance so what
happens if the belugarse falls forwards? And have another aquatic arctic friend, the Pengwhale.
Honestly creepy and looks like the villain in a story. Let’s get back to facts.
At number 8, Hinny While you think Hinny is just my bad impersonation
of Ru Paul, well you are right but it’s something else as well. You may have heard
of a Mule but a Hinny is the other hybrid equine with similar parentage. Both are the
result of breeding a horse with a donkey, but a mule has a horse as a mother and a hinny
has a donkey as a mother. Both tend to live longer than their parents and are more resistant
to disease, but mules are more popular since they tend to be stronger and have better endurance.
And now that I have told you about Hinny’s let's look at this fake blended creation.
Another equine, the Horseal. A moment of silence for how funny this one looks.
7 Zonkey If the Hinny wasn’t wild enough for you
then here, have a Zonkey. A blend of Zebra and Donkey, and yeah, it’s real. Quite rare
though, as it’s not a fertile species, and also because donkeys and zebras don’t have
the same number of chromosomes. They look like their donkey parent in their physical
stature and their zebra parent with their patterned fur. AKA a striped donkey. So while
they are rare, they happen every once in a while when there’s a love affair between
a zebra and a donkey. *said like romeo and juliet* Two equine species,
unalike in chromosomes, In some fair zoo, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge
break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
Okay it’s not as dramatic as romeo and juliet but lemme have my moment. Here’s your photo:
It’s a shorse. Shark horse. If that was running at you what would you do? Talking
about fast mixes…
Number 6, Leopon Sure you’ve heard of a liger or a tigon,
but what about this fanciful cat? It’s a cross between a lioness and a leopard. This
is one type of cross that’s the most likely in captivity, but not unheard of in the wild.
The resulting look is a cat nearly the size of a lion with shorter legs like a leopard.
They have spots like a leopards, but are paler, more like brown instead of black and Males
grow short manes. Honestly, they look unreal, and kinda fake, as if a lion was spray painted
with jaguar spots and his mane was given a haircut, but coool. What else is cool? This
lion cross between a lion and a guinea pig. *australian accent* a guina lion. I can’t
imagine being afraid of it, with that cute face? No no no. Or this one, the squix. Just
gosh darn adorable.
To number 5, Geep No I’m not talking about the car. This is
spelled G E E P and on second thought, it’s probably pronounced Geep. This hybrid is a
chimera. In short, any Geep has four parents because its the result of a combination of
goat and sheep embryos. The mix of embryos is then put in the womb of sheep or goat until
it is born. A successful Geep that was born had patches of sheepish wool and goatish hair.
Whenever these are a success, they aren’t able to have babies because goats and sheep
have different numbers of chromosomes. But another break from science talk, look at this:
A DUNNY. Look how fluffy. Amazing,from my wildest dreams and I want 10.
4 Dzo Spelled D Z O the Zo is a hybrid of a yak
and a cow. Yak for reference. *pause*. Cow for reference. *pause* and the resulting Zo
*pause*. Some people call it yakow. Which I think is great because it has a very nice
ring to it. A Zo has a face similar to cattle, but with large horns. Also, very sturdy and
larger than both of it’s parents. My favourite fact is that it can survive at an altitude
of more than 10,000 feet. Zo’s have low pulmonary artery pressure which means it can
survive breathing thin air without risking pulmonary hypertension. AKA very low blood
pressure so the arteries have less problems. What would give me less problems? Having a
spowl. Spider owl. 1. It has better eyeliner than me and 2. Is this spider sized or owl-sized?
I gotta know.
3 Grolar Bear This blend is becoming increasingly more common
likely due to climate change. Grizzly bears are moving further north into polar bear territory
and the two are mingling. One example looks like a grizzly in its face shape and it’s
paws, but has the mostly white colour that polar bears are known for.
What is uncommon is the pear. This penguin bear hybrid about the size of a teddy bear
and probably really great at catching salmon. Slightly more common is the bowl, an owl bear
hybrid that is super jacked but wise at the same time.
2 Wholphin A wholphin is the result of a false killer
whale breeding with a bottle-nosed dolphin. This *gesture* and this *gesture*. Now this
one is a bit misleading. A false killer whale is technically a dolphin species, but this
is still a staggering pairing. A wholphin is much bigger than a bottle-nosed dolphin
and a bit darker too. This pairing has been seen in captivity as well as in the wild and
a cool story is that a pair of parents of a wholphin was actually in an adam sandler
movie. 50 first dates featured Her mother, Punahele (<), and her father, I'anui (<).
Elephant manatee or phanatee brings snorkelling to a new level.. It is just me or do you picture
the phanatee swinging it’s trunk like a propeller to go faster. If it’s just me
that’s fine it’s a funny visual. I’ll throw in another one with Sharkopotamus. I
already knew that a hippo could crush a four foot tall child in it’s jaws so I really
didn’t need that belanded with a shark, but thank you for that gyyporama.
1 Killer Bees This is a bee that was originally a hybrid
of the african lowland honey bee with various other european honey bees. The cross became
known as the Africanized bee. It was produced originally with the hopes of creating a bee
with higher honey production but instead resulted in a more defensive bee. Victims of killer
bee stings tend to receive ten times more stings than from european honey bees. During
the original process of hybridizing, 26 swarms escaped the quarantine where they were produced
in Brazil. That was back in 1957 and the hybrid was spotted in North america by 1985 and the
south of texas by 1990. This last photo is a ferret and a duck I believe. So, obviously,
a f...derret, right? More than anything it’s just ADORABLE.
And that’s all I have for you, thanks again for gyyporama for letting me share his awesome
photoshop skills with you all and thank you for watching! Which one was the most unbelievable
to you and which photoshopped animal do you wish was real. Personally, the pengwhale freaked
me out with its teeth, but I would love to see a bowl in real life, but that’s just
me. I’ve been your host Abzkelly, make sure
to like comment subscibe and ring that bell, until next time, have a good one.
