If youre interested in eye-popping, attention-grabbing animals, look no further than hybrids. While hybrid animals like this wolf-dog are a fascinating cross of two separate species, they also reveal a host of ethical problems.

To create this bear-dog hybridwho didnt actually have any bear DNARussian breeders allegedly used a Chow Chow and some other sort of long-nosed stray. As animal shelter volunteer Polina Kefer put it, This dog is a badly-made Chow Chow. While the four-year-old pooch mightve looked cool to some, mentally, he was a mess.

Unfortunately, all of this questionable breeding made Medvebaka uninterested in making friends with either man or beast. Sadly the dog is so stressed it fights and bites back, Polina told The Siberian Times. We think it might take months to socialize him. Still, some caring soul tried to adopt him

Maybe an dog that never socialized.
Considering where it is, likely not.
They don’t really love up on their food.
:(
Crap.
Thought it was China.
Never mind.
I would love to have the dog, though.
Agreed. Every sentence requires a click and you get one picture.

Awww, Mongo straight...
It was not crossbreeding. Its a dog as the article a
Said.
It was. As I indicated in Post #1, it is breeding within a species, which is "crossbreeding" by definition. Take it up with your dictionary, or with Wikipedia:
"A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction."Pretty obviously, crossing two different species cannot be done.
Look at Hildabeast.
And if it IS successfully done, then that shows that they are NOT two different species, something that radical environmentalists who are in love with the "endangered species act" are reluctant to admit. Many "endangered species" are merely breeds of a species which is NOT endangered.
That said, there ARE cases of cross-breeding between species (eg, lions and tigers, and occasionally with horse/donkey mules) where viable offspring happen rarely, but do exist. This means that species boundaries can be fuzzy in cases.
