Pizzly (Grolar) Bears

Living proof of climate change the pizzly bear is the combination of polar and grizzly bears; when global warming melts ice up north the habitat of polar bears are destroyed seeking shelter in grizzly territory first appearing in 2006 this unusual bear was shot and killed along with another four years later in Northwest Canada. The increasing number of the pizzly bears are considered to be a polar bears defense against extinction merging with another species to keep some polar genes alive and passing them down to a new hybrid generation.

Coywolves

Referred to as a Human-Made-Hybrid the coywolf is the hybrid of a coyote and a wolf. Seen in America's  Northwest regions and parts of Canada the first coywolf hybrids was created an estimated 50-70 years ago due to habitats being destroyed by deforestation and others forms of human interaction. With wildlife experts estimating  millions of theses new animals existing they can pose a threat to nature and humans. (wolves- have strong jaws and an intelligent pack mentality yet avoid humans to protect their own while coyotes are more likely known to wandering into rural towns and show aggression towards humans).

Domestic Breeding

 Two very common breeds of dogs the beagle and the pug can be breed to make a puggle. This new breed of dog can be the best of both worlds in attitude and looks. Note the large ears (beagle) and facial winkles (pug).

Myths VS Reality

The myths to one creature being formed by two or more animals like a Cerberus or Hydra

In reality a "chimera" is a combination of two animals that are similar, yet different, a single organism composed of genetically distinct cells. This can result in male and female organs, two blood types, or subtle variations in form.^[1] Animal chimeras are produced by the merger of multiple fertilized eggs. In plant chimeras, however, the distinct types of tissue may originate from the same zygote, and the difference is often due to mutation during ordinary cell division. Normally, chimerism is not visible on casual inspection; however, it has been detected in the course of proving parentage.^[2](lion+tiger=liger) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zOWYj59BXI

There are several types on new hybrid animals

something as a German Shepard and Siberian Husky mix to a duck-beaver Platypus
