Blood Parrot
If you were hoping that a blood parrot was somehow a cross between a parrot and a big ol’ bucket of blood, we’re sorry to disappoint you. In fact, a blood parrot isn’t a parrot or even a bird at all. It’s a fish, the hybrid of a Midas cichlid and a red head cichlid, and first created in Taiwan in 1986.

It is inhumane to try and breed them knowing they exhibit hybrid mortality. Yes, dogs were originally bred from domesticated wolves, but if a dog and a wolf meet in nature they dont breed! The dog gets eaten, that is why they are given two different species names, Canis familiaris and Canis lupis. This is called the biological species concept. Its a shame most people dont pay attention in Biology class or they would know this.

She gave birth to wolf hybrids. It's to bad to many people only believe what books tell them instead of seeing it for themselves.

June 08 2012 at 2:22 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyYes, but there's an important difference - mules are bred by humans. Ligers are bred by humans. Naturally, they can't become a new species because of a very important reason: they cannot reproduce. They aren't quite natural, no.

June 08 2012 at 1:14 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyIt's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.
June 08 2012 at 12:55 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replyfor the wholphin, its a FALSE killer whale and an atlantic bottlenose dolphin. I worked with them.
June 08 2012 at 11:25 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyPeople have got to quit playing with stuff like this. It's just not right.

June 08 2012 at 11:18 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply"Mule
Mules are among the most well-known of hybrid animals. A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. The offspring of a female horse and a male donkey is called a hinny, but they're much less common than mules."
