Hybrid

A '''hybrid''' (biology-wise) is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different breeds, varieties, [[species]], or genera through [[W:sexual reproduction|sexual reproduction]] ("'''crosses'''").

== Etymology ==

The term '''hybrid''' is derived from the Latin word '''''hybrida''''', meaning "mongrel", which was specifically used for such crosses as a [[W:Sow|tame sow]] and a [[W:Wild boar|wild boar]]. The term became popular in the English language in the 19th century, though examples of its use have been found from the early 17th century.

Conspicuous hybrids are popularly identified with [[W:Portmanteau|portmanteau name]]s, starting in the 1920s with the breeding of a [[tiger]]/[[lion]] hybrids ([[liger]]s and [[tigon]]s).

== Description ==

Generally, hybridization means that each cell has the [[W:Genetics|genetic material]] from two different organisms, whereas an individual where some cells are derived from a different organism is called a [[chimera (modern hybrid)|chimera]]. Hybrids are not always intermediated between their parents (such as in [[W:blending inheritance|blending inheritance]]) but can show [[W:Heterosis|hybrid vigor]], sometimes growing larger or taller than either parent.

The concept of a hybrid is interpreted differently in [[animal]] and [[W:Plant|plant]] breeding, where there is interest in the individual parentage. In genetics, attention is focused on the numbers of [[W:Chromosome|chromosome]]s, while in [[W:Taxonomy,|taxonomy]], a key question is how closely related the parent species are.

Based on their "parent" lineage, hybrids themselves can be [[W:Fecundity|fecund]] ([[W:Dzomo|Dzomo]]) or [[W:Sterility (physiology)|sterile]] ([[W:Dzo|Dzo]]).

== Hybrid and furry ==

[[Furry]] [[character]]s, [[fursona]]s, or [[OC]]s, can be, as the same as in mainstream culture, hybrids of two biologically possible animal crosses, such as a [[coyote]] and a [[wolf]], commonly identified as a '''coywolf''', resulting in [[liger]]s, [[wolfdog]]s, [[W:Coydog|coydog]]s, and [[tigon]]s, among others.

But thanks to ideas/imagination not being impeded by logical biology, furry variations in hybridization are limitless, regardless of actual fertility facts. So, while authors can/have created characters in scenarios abiding by mainstream genetics, crosses of every possible variation are present in the fandom thanks to its creative community. This includes crosses between:

* Actual "biological cousins" - Such as a [[fox]] and a [[wolf]], commonly identified in the [[furry fandom]] as a [[folf]] (or '''pholph''').
* Between not related biological species - Those that can not interbreed, such as a [[tiger]] and a [[Skunk (species)|skunk]], this cross popularized by [[furry artist]] [[Max Black Rabbit]]'s popular character, [[Zig Zag]]. Other species such animals crossbreed with include [[reptile]]s, [[bird]]s, [[insect]]s or [[fish]].
* Between [[W:Heterotroph|heterotrophs]] and [[W:Autotroph|autotrophs]] - Plants and animals.<ref>[https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Category:Plant-hybrid_characters Category [[plant]]-hybrid [[character]]s] page on [[Wikifur]]. Retrieved April 10, 2023.</ref>
* [[W:Synthetic biology|Synthetic biology]] with [[W:Organic lifeform|organic lifeforms]] - Like [[W:Xenobot|xenobots]] with any animal (like [[primagen]]s, but not [[anthroid]]s or [[inanimorph]]s).<ref>[https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Category:Robot_characters Category [[robot]] characters] page on Wikifur.

* [[Werewolf]] hybrids - In the [[fandom]], '''lycanthrope''' crosses do occur between related animals or species, with one being the "base" animal (the [[human]] in the werewolf scenario).
* Sometimes the cross is between not biologically related animals or species, in some concepts two animals that are diametrically opposite of each other, like a meek-looking [[bunny]] and/or a cute [[sheep]] transforming into an [[W:Apex predator|apex predator]] like a wolf, sometimes with a twist (I.e. werewolves still exhibiting prey animals' apprehensions after change).<ref>[https://www.furaffinity.net/view/6207886/ ''Strollin' Through the Woods One Day...''] page on [[Fur Affinity]].

Hamster (species)

2023-12-01T23:25:30Z

[[File:Hamster.jpg|right|thumb|A hamster, specifically a dwarf hamster]]
'''Hamsters''' are [[rodent]]s (order ''Rodentia'') belonging to the subfamily '''''Cricetinae''''' of the family '''''Cricetidae'''''.

Hamsters are more crepuscular than nocturnal and, in the wild, remain underground during the day to avoid being caught by predators. They feed primarily on seeds, fruits, and vegetation, and will occasionally eat burrowing insects. Physically, they are stout-bodied with distinguishing features that include elongated cheek pouches extending to their shoulders, which they use to carry food back to their burrows, as well as a short tail and fur-covered feet.

== Etymology ==

The name "hamster" is a loanword from the German, which itself derives from earlier Middle High German ''hamastra''. It is possibly related to Old Church Slavonic ''khomestoru'', which is either a blend of the root of Russian хомяк (khomyak) "hamster" and a Baltic word (cf. Lithuanian ''staras'' "hamster"); or of Persian origin (cf. Av ''hamaēstar'' "oppressor"). The collective noun for a group of hamsters is "horde". In German, the verb "hamstern" is derived from "Hamster", which means "Hoarding".

== Overview ==

The hamster subfamily contains 19 [[species]] classified in seven [[W:genus|genera]]. The best-known species of hamster is the [[W:Golden hamster|golden or Syrian hamster]] (''Mesocricetus auratus''), which is the type most commonly kept as a [[pet]].

Other hamster species commonly kept as pets are the three species of '''dwarf hamster''', [[W:Campbell's dwarf hamster|Campbell's dwarf hamster]] (''Phodopus campbelli''), the [[W:winter white dwarf hamster|winter white dwarf hamster]] (''Phodopus sungorus'') and the [[W:Roborovski hamster|Roborovski hamster]] (''Phodopus roborovskii'').

The alternate spelling ''hampster'' has sometimes been used since the hampsterdance website became popular in 1999, which later resulted in the 2001 novelty hit ''[[The Hampster Dance]]'' by Hampton the Hampster.
