Human beings have spent years domesticating and breeding animals, whether it is horses bred for work, dogs bred for agility and adorableness, or common cat cross-breeds we don’t even realize we have at home. Over 7,000 years of civilization, cross-breeding animals and plants has been an incredible method of creating new species in captivity with what are considered to be ideal and a unique combination of characteristics. The same has even been carried out with wild and captive animals to produce some truly beautiful creations like these 15 fascinating beings listed below.
