Hybrid Iguana (Male Marine Iguana + Female Galapagos Iguana)
The Galapagos Islands’ South Plaza Island is home to the world’s first hybrid iguana. The Galapagos Islands are part of the archipelago that includes these islands. It’s a place where the territories of two distinct species collide and meet in the middle. A hybrid is created when a male sea iguana and a female Galapagos land iguana unite in order to produce progeny from different species. These hybrids are referred to as marine-Galapagos hybrids.

Striped bodies and pale mottling near the head characterize iguana hybrids. Non-banded land and sea iguanas are reddish-yellow and blackish. In 1981, the first hybrid iguana was found.
Caraval (Caracal + Serval)
The caraval is a hybrid animal created by mating a male caracal and a female serval. Their parents are both caracals. It was born from the union of a male caracal and a female serval. They have a dot pattern like a serval, but their fur has a darker background hue. A caraval is the offspring of a male serval and a female caracal who mate. Mating a male caracal with a female serval produces caravals.
Caraval (Caracal + Serval)
A litter of caravals was accidently born when the two animals were caged together at a Los Angeles zoo. Donated to an animal shelter were hybrids. They only appear in tawny kitten images.
