A discovery of a new Jamaican fruit bat excited researchers
Interspecies breeding doesn’t always result in offspring that are infertile, like many of the animals already listed.
A rare species of fruit bat was discovered in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean and the DNA reveals the bat is a descendant of three different species. Scientists were shocked to discover the bat’s original ancestors were a combination of three different bat species.
One ancestor species remains unknkown
However, researchers were only able two identify two out of three of the parent bat species. The third species that contributed to the genetics of this new bat has either gone extinct or has not yet been discovered yet.
Teams continue to discover new bat species but hybrids of already existing bats are extremely rare.
Coywolfs happen when coyotes and wolves sometimes breed in the wild
Coyotes and wolves are not known to breed often but it has happened both in the wild and in captivity or at animal sanctuaries.
The informal term for the breed is “coywolf” and they are the offspring of a coyote and a grey wolf or eastern wolf. Hybrids of any combination tend to be larger than coyotes but smaller than wolves.
