Real interspecies hybrids are extremely rare. They may suddenly appear in the wild, but most of them human invents with a certain purpose.1. Zebroid is the common name of all hybrids between zebra and any other animals from horse family: the horse,
donkey or pony. Zebroids are zedonk, zors, zonk, zoni, zebrul, zebrinni
and zetland. Foals have the lines of the body like the mother, but
strips from their father, usually on the legs or part of the neck and
torso. The result of this crossing is very nice zebroid.
In the wild, these hybrids do not occur. In Africa they have the advantage over the horses and donkeys as resistant to the bite of the tsetse fly and can be trained better than the zebra.

2. Elephant Hybrid – a hybrid between a female Indian elephant and the male African elephant. In 1978 in Chester Zoo (UK) Motti
was born, which combined the characteristics of both elephant species.
Baby elephant has lived only 12 days and died from the infection. This is the only recorded case of occurrence of such hybrid.

4. A hybrid camel is a hybrid between single-humped and two-humped camels.
They look like single-humped, but have larger hump stretched from front
to back. Hybrids exceed the original parent species by massiveness,
working qualities and endurance. Production of hybrid camels practiced
since ancient times. Hybrids cost more than their parents because of economically useful traits.
