Polecat (species)

The '''polecat''' is any of a group of Old World [[mammal]]s of the genera ''Mustela'' or ''Vormela'' of the [[weasel]] family. More specifically, "polecat" may refer the species ''Mustela putorius'', the wild ancestor of the domesticated [[ferret]]. There is also another genera, ''Ictonyx'' that includes the striped polecat, also known as the zorilla, which resembles the skunk, is native to Africa. This term is also used to apply to the black-footed ferret, which is native to North America.

Polecats are so called for their reputed habit of predation on domestic fowl (''poules'' in the French) and known for their pungent musk. The latter may have led to applying the term "polecat" which is sometimes used as a colloquial nickname to the New World [[Skunk (species)|skunks]], which are distant relatives that belong to the family Mephitidae. It bears noting that the European polecat usually has no white markings. [[Albino]] individuals are not unknown. They also have a mask-like marking across the face.

Despite their common name, polecats are not cats.

[[Image:Kangaroo_EasternGrey_Male_LayingDownOnRightSide.jpg|thumb|320px|right|A Kangaroo lying down.]]
The '''Kangaroo''' is the largest surviving [[Wikipedia:Marsupial|marsupial]] in the world. They are [[Wikipedia:macropod|macropod]]s like their smaller cousins the [[wallaby]] and the forest dwelling [[Wikipedia:Pademelon|pademelon]]. Predominantly known as a native species to Australia, some are also found in New Guinea.

Being a marsupial, the [[female]]s ('''Does''') have a [[Wikipedia:Pouch (marsupial)|pouch]] which is used to hold their young, called joeys from an early birth (approx. 4-6 weeks) through most of their young development. Kangaroos also feature a large muscular [[tail]], used for balance, and a set of very powerful hind legs which can propel them at speeds of up to 70km/h over short distances.

==Species==
Four species of kangaroo include the Red kangaroo (''Macropus rufus''), the Antilopine kangaroo (''Macropus antilopinus''), Eastern grey kangaroo (''Macropus giganteus''), and the Western grey kangaroo (''Macropus fuliginosus'').

==Terminology==
In Australian common usage, [[male]] kangaroos may be referred to as "bucks," "boomers," or "jacks" and females "does," "flyers," or "jills." In the case of the Red kangaroo, a female may also be referred to as a "blue flyer" due to their bluish-grey fur color in contrast to the ruddy coat of the males. The proper name for a group of kangaroos is a "mob." Young kangaroos are called "joeys."

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 '''''hybrida''''', used for crosses such as a [[W:Sow|tame sow]] and a [[W:wild boar|wild boar]]. The term came into popular use in English 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, it 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]]. 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 smaller and shorter, or larger and 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]]).

== Hybrids in mainstream culture/religion ==

== 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 where they abided 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 - Which 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]].

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 '''''hybrida''''', used for crosses such as a [[W:Sow|tame sow]] and a [[W:wild boar|wild boar]]. The term came into popular use in English 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, it 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]]. 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 where they abided 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 - Which 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]].
