Animals sometimes pair with members of other species, and nature occasionally supports such combinations with hybrid results. Humans have utilized hybridization to create striking uniqueness for centuries, especially for entertainment purposes. Although these animals are often unhealthy and irrelevant to conservation efforts, hybridization is a natural phenomenon. Here is a review of 9 animals resulting from natural crossbreeding.
"1. 'Mysterious monkey' of Kalimantan"
This animal is the result of a cross between a proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus), which is famous for its long nose, and a silver langur (Trachypithecus cristatus).
"2. Pizzly Bear"
The combination of the polar bear and grizzly bear referred to here is rarely found naturally; this pizzly bear hybrid is beginning to spread throughout the Arctic due to climate change.
"3. Liger, pumapard, and other cat hybrids that exist in captivity"
"Humans have created various types of hybrid cats by breeding different species in captivity. The result is oddities like the giant liger (lion-tiger hybrid) and the small pumapard (puma-leopard hybrid). Conservation experts condemn this crossbreeding as unethical and state that these hybrids will not aid in wildlife conservation efforts."
"However, this proves that different wild cats can mix."

"4. Manakin with a golden crest"
"Birds resulting from hybridization in the Amazon rainforest. They are born from the crossbreeding between the snow-capped manakin (Lepidothrix nattereri) and the opal-capped manakin (Lepidothrix iris)."
5. 'Dogixm' (Dog and Fox)
The text translated to English while preserving the HTML tags is: "This creature exhibits characteristics of domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and pampas foxes (Lycalopex gymnocercus). It turns out this is the first known dog-fox hybrid, reported The Telegraph."
6. Narluga
This animal has the front fins of a beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas), the tail of a narwhal (Monodon monoceros), and teeth that appear to be a mix of both. Researchers confirmed that it is a narluga, the first beluga-narwhal hybrid.
7. Coywolf
The eastern coyote is often referred to as a coywolf or coydog because they reproduce with wolves and older generation dogs, making them larger than western coyotes but smaller than wolves.
"8. Sturddlefish"
"By accident, Hungarian scientists created an 'impossible' hybrid fish in 2019 by crossing the spiny Russian beluga (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) and the long-nosed American paddlefish (Polyodon spathula). "
The translation of "9. Wolphins" from 'Bahasa' to 'English' is "9. Wolphins". There is no change needed as it appears to be a proper noun.
"This interesting animal, a hybrid of the false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens) and the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) at Sea Life Park Hawaii."
