Amazing Hybrid Animals
Blood parrot = Midas Cichlid + Red Devil fish
The Blood parrot (also known as bloody parrot and blood parrotfish) is a hybrid cichlid. The fish was first created in Taiwan in around 1986. Its parentage is unknown, but the most commonly speculated pairings are midas cichlid with the redhead cichlid. This hybrid cichlid has various anatomical deformities, one of the most obvious, and also deadly, deformities is its mouth, which only has very narrow vertical opening. This makes blood parrot very hard to feed. Many die eventually because of this. Cichlid enthusiasts have called for their removal from the market and organized boycotts against pet stores that sell them.
Hybrid Pheasant = Golden + Amherst Pheasant
The Golden Pheasant has commonly been crossed with the similar Lady Amherst's Pheasant. The result is a hybrid with distinguished colours from its parents.
Toast of Botswana = Sheep + Goat
An unusual case of a sheep-goat hybrid was reported by veterinarians in Botswana in 2000, called the "Toast of Botswana". The animal was born naturally from the mating of a female goat with a male sheep that were kept together.
The hybrid was intermediate between the two parent species in type. It had a coarse outer coat, a woolly inner coat, long goat-like legs and a heavy sheep-like body. Although infertile, the hybrid had a very active libido, mounting both ewes and does when they were not in heat. This earned the hybrid the name Bemya or rapist. He was castrated when he was 10 months old because he was becoming a nuisance.
Grizzly Polar = Polar Bear + Brown Bear
Also known as Grolar Bear, this bear hybrid is a rare ursid hybrid that has occurred both in captivity and in the wild. In 2006, the occurrence of this hybrid in nature was confirmed by testing the DNA of a strange-looking bear that had been shot on Banks Island in the Canadian arctic.A number of polar bear hybrids are described as Ursid hybrids, a term that designates any hybrid of two species within the Ursidae family. Polar bear hybrids with Grizzly bears have been reported and shot, but DNA techniques were not available to verify the bears' ancestry.
Cama = Camel + Llama
This hybrid animal, tis he product of breeding a llama and a camel, has been the only creature of this kind since her birth in 1995. Camas are humpless and have the long fluffy coat of a llama. Their ears are half way in length between camels and llamas, but they have the strong, desert-ready legs of a camel.
Beefalo = Buffalo + Cow
What will you get when you cross a cow with a buffalo? The Beefalo, a hybrid animal that produces red meat lower in fat and cholesterol than beef. Most consumers have never heard of beefalo, let alone tasted it, and only a few Seattle grocery stores carry it.
Zebroid = Zebra + Equine
A zebroid (also zebra mule and zebrule) is the offspring of any cross between a zebra and any other equine: essentially, a zebra hybrid. In most cases, the sire is a zebra stallion. Offspring of a donkey sire and zebra mare, called a zebra hinny, do exist but are rare. Zebroids have been bred since the 19th century. The zebroid showed in the picture above, Eclyse, is a very unusual one, because of her coloring. With her über distinct makings, it's really hard not think she's a Photoshop mock-up.
Savannah = Serval + Domestic Cat
The Savannah Cat is created by breeding an African Wild Cat, called a Serval and a domestic cat, usually an exotic looking domestic cat such as a Bengal, Oriental Shorthair, Egyptian Mau, or a Serengeti's. The offspring created by this combination are large domestic.
Leopon = Leopard + Lion
The Leopon is the result of breeding a male leopard with a female lion. The head of the animal is similar to that of a lion while the rest of the body carries similarities to leopards. The first documented leopon was bred at Kolhapur, India in 1910.
Liger = Lion + Tiger
The liger is a hybrid cross between a male Panthera leo (lion), and a female Panthera tigris (Tiger) and is denoted scientifically as Panthera tigris × Panthera leo. A liger resembles a giant lion with diffused stripes. They are the largest cats in the world, although the Siberian Tiger is the largest pure sub-species. Like tigers, but unlike lions, ligers enjoy swimming. A similar hybrid, the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon.

I've Learned
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.
I've learned that no matter how much I care,
some people just don't care back.
And it's not the end of the world.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust,
and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that it's not what you have in your life,
but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you'd better know something.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself
to the best others can do,
but to the best you can do.
I've learned that it's not what happens to people,
It's what they do about it.
I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it,
there are always two sides.
I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.
I've learned that you can keep going
long after you think you can't.
I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done
When it needs to be done
regardless of the consequences.
I've learned that there are people who love you dearly,
but just don't know how to show it.
I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't five me the right to be cruel.
I've learned that true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to
doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I've learned that no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken,
the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.
I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean that they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I've learned that sometimes you have to put the individual
ahead of their actions.
I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.
I've learned that no matter the consequences,
those who are honest with themselves get farther in life.
I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours
by people who don't even know you.
I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give,
when a friend cries out to you,
you will find the strength to help.
I've learned that writing,
as well as talking,
can ease emotional pains.
I've learned that the people you care most about in life
are taken from you too soon.
I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice
and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.
I've learned to love
and be loved.
I've learned...

Mendadak Cinta
Asli Indonesia
- Pembabatan hutan yang dilakukan manusia. Soalnya gajah sumatera hanya bisa hidup di gunung, hutan rawa dan hutan gambut. Kalau kita terus menerus mebabat hutan, gajah sumatera pun tidak akan punya tempat tinggal lagi. Sama saja apabila rumah kita dirobohkan sehingga rata dengan tanah. Bagaimana kita akan bisa bertahan?
- Manusia memburu gadingnya sebagai aksesori atau hiasan rumah. Mulai dari senjata api dengan peluru khusus hingga meracuni makanan, manusia melakukan berbagai macam cara untuk memburu gajah.
- Musim kemarau yang mengeringkan sungai. Padahal, gajah sumtaera membutuhkan 50 liter air setiap harinya. Akibatnya, untuk mendapatkan air, gajah harus menggali sungai yang kering dengan kaki dan belalainya sedalam 100 meter.
- Manusia ingin mengulitinya. Kulit harimau sumatera terkenal indah dengan warna oranye, emas berloreng hitam dan berharga mahal. Manusia mengambil kulitnya untuk dijadikan karpet atau hiasan dinding. Bayangkan, untuk mendapatkan pajangan, manusia rela membunuh mahkluk tak bersalah.
- Manusia mengubah hutan, rumah harimau, menjadi perkebunan sawit. Selain itu manusia juga menebang hutan secara massal sebagai pendukung industri kertas.
- Manusia semakin rajin menebang hutan. Hal ini jelas mengganggu kehidupan mereka sehingga mereka tidak lagi punya tempat tinggal.
- Manusia memburu bayi orangutan untuk dijadikan binatang peliharaan atau diperjual belikan di pasar ilegal. Repotnya, orangutan betina tidak akan melepaskan bayinya sampai ia mati terbunuh. Selain itu, bayi orangutan yang dipaksa berpisah dari induknya, bisanya akan mati karena trauma dan stress berkepanjangan.
- Manusia memburu culanya yang konon ampuh untuk berbagai macam penyakit. Tukang tadah siap membayarnya hingga $30,000/1kg.
- Makin menipisnya hutan serta pelanggaran penggunaan areal Taman Nasional sebagai lahan berburu dan industri menjadi ancaman bagi keberadaan badak jawa ini.
Beberapa cara yang bisa kita lakukan untuk menyelamatkannya adalah:
- Tidak membeli atau mengoleksi hewan langka dari sumber manapun. Jadi kalau ada yang memberikan kamu hadiah hewan langka, sebaiknya segera tolak.
- Tidak membeli atau menggunakan produk yang berasal dari hewan langka, baik berupa fashion atau hiasan lainnya. Banyak barang interior, aksesori, baju, hingga obat-obatan yang menggunakan bagian tertentu dari hewan langka.
- Kurangi pemakaian kertas sekarang juga dengan cara memakai kertas bolak-balik dalam mencetak atau penggunannya. Karena industri kertas termasuk berperan besar dalam mengurangi tempat tinggal hewan langka.
