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 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 [[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.

== 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. 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]]. Others species such animals crossbreed with include [[reptile]]s, [[bird]]s, [[insect]]s or [[fish]].

* [[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.

[[Monster]] hybrids are common on mainstream, but just in relation to crosses between inhuman [[creature]]s, such as a [[werewolf]]/[[vampire]] hybrid.<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VampiricWerewolf ''Vampiric Werewolf''] page on the [[W:TV Tropes|TV Tropes]] website. Retrieved April 10, 2023.</ref> On the [[fandom]], such crosses occur more commonly between not biologically related animals or species, with one being the "base" animal (the [[human]] in the werewolf scenario), and in some concepts, two animals which 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]].
