A Zorse is a Zorse, of course

“I Photographed A Zorse – The Hybrid Most People Don’t Think Exists” (10 Photos)

“Last year, I met an animal which I thought would only exist in my fantasy: a zorse, the hybrid between a zebra stallion and a horse mare.
Zuri, the mare you see in the photo, was only 1.5 years old and although I’ve been working as a photographer with horses for over 6 years, this was different from anything I’ve known so far.”

There are many hybrids people don't know about. For instance, the largest of all cats, the liger: http://www.ligerworld.com/



Or the chupacabra! That's the one I find most interesting. It's really a cross between a Mexican grey wolf and a coyote, but it looks really weird: https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/chupacabra-sightings-texas-real-creatures-experts-article-1.1602316

But about that chupacabra...a few years back I remember reading something about a new species that was observed in New England. Turned out to be a wolf/coyote/domestic dog hybrid.

Hercules, the largest non-obese liger, is recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest living cat on Earth, weighing 418.2 kg (922 lb). Hercules was featured on the Today Show, Good Morning America, Anderson Cooper 360, Inside Edition, and in a Maxim article in 2005, when he was only three years old and already weighed 408.25 kg (900 lb). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liger


That's one BIG cat!

who has a stables and she teaches all levels of riding. She also shows. When we were there she had a Zorse. Very interesting animal. She was able to interact with her at that time but I do not know how much she was able to train her. She was pretty wild but beautiful and not unfriendly at all.
