Ligers, tigons and grolar bears, oh my! Take a look at some of these otherworldly hybrid animals and you'll realize the possibilities are endless.

Though they rarely occur in nature, individuals from different but closely related species do occasionally mate, and the result is a biological hybrid — an offspring that shares traits from both parent species. You may have heard of the mysterious sheep-pig creature, but it turns out that one isn't a true hybrid.

Here are six bizarre, but truly unique half-breeds...

Are you and joe 6-pack related? Hybrid, maybe?

Well you certainly don't sound like the stereotypical earth killing conservative. People don't understand my attatchment to Michigan but for the most part its rural and its a beautiful place despite the disaster areas in a couple of cities.

Oh boy-that is beautiful! Just beautiful-your area?

And their natural predator

I think they got their pics mixed up. That doesn’t look like a Beefalo, it looks more like a Limousin Bull which is just another continental breed of cattle.

Yeah not far. Down near Michigan International Speedway of all places.

I live in a tiny town of around 150 people but I can see into the woods from the house plus I’m on the lake so we have the geese, swans, cranes, herons, ducks etc. I just saw the first Baltimore Oriole of spring today.

America has so much to offer. All ya have to do is figure out what gives you peace ( which always comes in moments interrupted with mini and sometimes maxi chaos-lol ) and make sure you can tap into it frequently. With nature, there is always a surprise in store...yesterday my hsb saw a duck chase away a muskrat on a mini island that his new family was approaching. He made such a loud mess and splash of things that event he birds got upset! hee hee

My Jack Russell has mostly given up on the muskrats but he spends hours barking at turtles that ignore him.

She is so gorgeous...and look at the alert glance. She knows she is safe ( and probably warm at night!).

Ok. It is CLEAR that both of you need to team up and go into some kind of photoshop business. There is WAY too much skill between the two of you.
