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]].

* [[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).

:''This article is about the [[species]] term. For the person of this first name, see [[Hybrid Wuff]].''

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>

* [[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]].
