Animal Hybrids That You Possibly Didn’t Know Existed

Mulard

This hybrid’s name is derived from the words ‘mule’ and ‘mallard,’ which makes sense because these animals are a cross between Muscovy and Pekin ducks. Mulards were bred because they are hardier and calmer while producing stronger foie gras.

Coydog

A coydog is a cross between a coyote and a dog. These hybrids were born in pre-Columbian Mexico for centuries, but are now bred in captivity. Coydogs are known for being more mischievous while wolfdogs are known for being more dependable.
