Coywolf

Fun fact: wolves and coyotes only diverged biologically around 300,000 years ago. All things considered, this is still pretty recent. We can see why the two species can still procreate with relative ease. The result is the coywolf, a creature with similar behavioral characteristics to both of its parents. It is usually somewhere between the wolf and the coywolf when it comes to size.

Hinny

Can you guess what the hinny is? You were right if you guessed that it resulted from a cross between a female donkey and a male horse. On the other hand, you are totally wrong if you guessed that it is just a mule. The difference is that the mule is the result of a mix between a female horse and a male donkey.
