18 Hybrid Animals That Are Hard to Believe Actually Exist ANIMALS 12/14/2018 18 Hybrid Animals That Are Hard To Believe are real | Bored Panda Login Art Photography Animals Travel Illustration DIY Good News Funny Parenting Challenge 18 Hybrid Animals That Are Hard To Believe Actually Exist ANIMALS Animals By Lina D. Like Bored Panda on FB: Like 15M You might have probably heard about the most common animal hybrid between a female horse and a male donkey, called a mule, but did you know there are more of these mixed animals? Though this kind of species and breeds crossing does not usually appear in nature, with the intervention of humans, we now have zonkeys, ligers, and Savannah cats. These offsprings are typically infertile, with some exceptions such as the coywolf (not to be confused with a wolf that is coy), that is a mix of a coyote and a wolf and can further reproduce. Though the internet is full of photoshopped images of strange creatures, this list is full of absolutely real and amazing animals. What does the future hold, with advances in genetic engineering and cloning? Only time will tell! Keep reading to nd out more about these weird animals.

  • The Welfare of Ducks and Geese in Foie Gras Production
    The Welfare of Ducks and Geese in Foie Gras Production A Summary of the Scientific and Empirical Evidence A Farm Sanctuary Report Farm Sanctuary · P.O. Box 150 · Watkins Glen, NY www.FarmSanctuary.org · www.NoFoieGras.org Introduction Foie gras, a French term meaning "fatty liver," is produced by force-feeding ducks and geese large amounts of meal that enlarges their livers up to 10 times the nor- mal size. In medical terms, ducks and geese raised for foie gras suffer from hepatic lipi- dosis, a pathologically enlarged, physiologi- cally impaired liver. Foie gras was traditionally produced from geese, but the trend in recent years has been toward using ducks, who require less space to house and are slaughtered younger. Only ducks are currently being used in the US to make foie gras. The species of duck used in foie gras production is a hybrid between the Muscovy duck (Carina moschata) and the domestic duck (Anas platyrhnchous). A male Muscovy duck, which is nearly twice the size of a female Muscovy, is crossed with a domestic female duck such as the Pekin, and the result is a sterile hybrid called the Mulard duck. Male Mulard ducks are used for foie gras production, while the females are either killed at birth or raised and slaughtered for meat con- sumption. During the force-feeding process, the duck is grabbed by the neck, and a metal or plastic tube 8 to 12 inches long is inserted down the esophagus. The desired amount of high fat, high carbohydrate corn mash is pushed through the tube and into the duck's esophagus by either a manual or a pneu- matic pump.

  • Camels, Donkeys and Caravan Trade: an Emerging Context from Baraqish
    Camels, donkeys and caravan trade: an emerging context from Baraqish,- ancient Yathill (Wadi- - al-Jawf, Yemen) Francesco G. FEDELE Laboratorio di Antropologia, Università di Napoli ‘Federico II’, Naples, Italy (retired), current address: via Foligno 78/10, 10149 Torino (Italy) [email protected] Fedele F. G. 2014. — Camels, donkeys and caravan trade: an emerging context from Bara¯qish, ancient Yathill (Wa-di al-Jawf, Yemen). Anthropozoologica 49 (2): 177-194. http:// dx.doi.org/10.5252/az2014n2a02. ABSTRACT Work at Barāqish/Yathill in 2005-06 has produced sequences encompassing the Sabaean (13th-6th centuries BC) and Minaean/Arab (c. 550 BC-AD 1) occupa- tions. Abundant animal remains were retrieved and contexts of use and discard were obtained. Camels and donkeys are studied together as pack animals, the camel being the domestic dromedary. Their zooarchaeological and contextual study at Yathill is justified from this city’s location on the famous frankincense caravan route of the 1st millennium BC. An extramural stratigraphic sequence documenting the relationships between the city and the adjoining plain from c. 820 BC to the Islamic era was investigated to the northwest of the Minaean KEY WORDS wall. Domestic camels were present by 800 BC, the earliest well-documented Dromedary (Camelus occurrence in Yemen; wild dromedary herds were still in the area during the dromedarius), Camelus sp. wild, 7th century and perhaps later. The study of the archaeological context links donkey (Equus asinus), these Sabaean-age camels to campsites possibly formed by non-residents. This caravan trade, archaeological indicators pattern greatly developed during the Minaean period, with trade-jar handling of ‘caravan’ activity, posts outside the walled city and frequent stationing of camels and donkeys on ‘frankincense route’ in the upper talus.

  • Northeastern Coyote/Coywolf Taxonomy and Admixture: a Meta-Analysis
    Way and Lynn Northeastern coyote taxonomy Copyright © 2016 by the IUCN/SSC Canid Specialist Group. ISSN 1478-2677 Synthesis Northeastern coyote/coywolf taxonomy and admixture: A meta-analysis Jonathan G. Way1* and William S. Lynn2 1 Eastern Coyote Research, 89 Ebenezer Road, Osterville, MA 02655, USA. Email [email protected] 2 Marsh Institute, Clark University, Worcester, MA 01610, USA. Email [email protected] * Correspondence author Keywords: Canis latrans, Canis lycaon, Canis lupus, Canis oriens, cladogamy, coyote, coywolf, eastern coyote, eastern wolf, hybridisation, meta-analysis, northeastern coyote, wolf. Abstract A flurry of recent papers have attempted to taxonomically characterise eastern canids, mainly grey wolves Canis lupus, eastern wolves Canis lycaon or Canis lupus lycaon and northeastern coyotes or coywolves Canis latrans, Canis latrans var. or Canis latrans x C. lycaon, in northeastern North America. In this paper, we performed a meta-analysis on northeastern coyote taxonomy by comparing results across studies to synthesise what is known about genetic admixture and taxonomy of this animal. Hybridisation or cladogamy (the crossing between any given clades) be- tween coyotes, wolves and domestic dogs created the northeastern coyote, but the animal now has little genetic in- put from its parental species across the majority of its northeastern North American (e.g. the New England states) range except in areas where they overlap, such as southeastern Canada, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the mid- Atlantic area. The northeastern coyote has roughly 60% genetic influence from coyote, 30% wolf and 10% domestic dog Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris. There is still disagreement about the amount of eastern wolf versus grey wolf in its genome, and additional SNP genotyping needs to sample known eastern wolves from Algonquin Pro- vincial Park, Ontario to verify this.

  • Newsletter #47 January – February 2017 for Tangens Alumni and Friends
    Newsletter #47 January – February 2017 For Tangens alumni and friends Coyote and dog attacks. I wrote about this in newsletters #31 and #32 in 2014. Since then I always walk dogs with stones in my back pack. I have not had to use the stones on coyotes since then, but I have used the stones a couple of times on approaching off-leash dogs, when yelling didn’t work (never hit one of course). No matter how “friendly” the owners claim the dogs are, they create a big problem if coming up to my pack, where all are on leash. Alex Carswell, owner of “Joey” (litter 08) recommended in #32 using a collapsible baton. I bought one, but I didn’t really manage it well enough. Recently, Joan Pleasant, owner of “Juju” (litter 09) wrote to recommend the Falcon Signal Horn Super Sound; lightweight, small, inexpensive, and can be attached to your belt or back pack. I will definitely buy one to try. An air horn like this can also be useful in other situations, including emergencies. I wonder though how the dogs you are trying to protect react to the super sound. I heard that it can be used to break up dog fights. Whippets in general don’t seem to be too sensitive to sounds, so hopefully they don’t get too scared if you use it for coyote attacks. On the topic of coyotes: I recently went to a presentation and book signing by the author of the book Coyote America. Coyotes are beautiful and interesting, even though they are also a nuisance.

  • A DISTRIBUTIONAL ANALYSIS of RURAL COLORADO ENGLISH By
    A DISTRIBUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF RURAL COLORADO ENGLISH by LAMONT D. ANTIEAU (Under the Direction of William A. Kretzschmar, Jr.) ABSTRACT This dissertation describes a study in linguistic geography conducted in Colorado using the methodology of the Linguistic Atlas of the Western States. As such, the goals of this dissertation are threefold: 1) to provide a description of Colorado English with respect to select lexical, phonetic, and syntactic features; 2) to compare the results of work in Colorado with previous work conducted in the eastern states as well as in Colorado and other western states; and 3) to use inferential statistics to show correlation between the distribution of specific linguistic variants and the social characteristics of those informants who use these variants. The major findings of this study include the observation that linguistic variants are distributed according to a power law, that numerous variants have statistically significant social correlates at all levels of the grammar, and that the relative effect of social variables differ at each linguistic level.

James Rocha, Bernard Rollin, Adam Shriver, and Rebecca Walker were fellow travelers with us on the amicus brief, but were unable to follow us to the book. Research assistants Andrew Lopez and Caroline Vardigans provided invaluable support and assistance at crucial moments. We have also benefited from discussion with audiences at the Stanford Law School and Dalhousie Philosophy Department Colloquium, where the amicus brief was presented, and from the advice of wise colleagues, including Charlotte Blattner, Matthew Herder, Syl Ko, Tim Krahn, and Gordon McOuat. Lauren Choplin, Kevin Schneider, and Steven Wise patiently helped us navigate the legal landscape as we worked on the brief, related media articles, and the book, and they continue to fight for freedom for Kiko and Tommy, and many other nonhuman animals. 4 1 Introduction: Chimpanzees, Rights, and Conceptions of Personhood In December 2013, the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) filed a petition for a common law writ of habeas corpus in the New York State Supreme Court on behalf of Tommy, a chimpanzee living alone in a cage in a shed in rural New York (Barlow, 2017).

  • Genetic Diversity of Muscovy Ducks Revealed by Mtdna D-Loop
    IOSR Journal of Biotechnology and Biochemistry (IOSR-JBB) ISSN: 2455-264X, Volume 3, Issue 5 (Sep.- Oct. 2017), PP 11-18 www.iosrjournals.org Genetic diversity of Muscovy ducks revealed by mtDNA d-loop Kameshpandian Paramasivam1, Satyanarayana Swamy Vyshnava2, Dileep Kumar Kanderi2, Cino Pertoldi3,4. 1 (Department of Genomic Science, Central University of Kerala, Kasaragod, Kerala, India, [email protected]) 2 (Department of Microbiology, Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapuramu, AP, India) 3 (Department of Chemistry and Bioscience, Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark) 4(Aalborg Zoo, Aalborg, Denmark) Abstract: Based on geographical location and previous studies, the Muscovy ducks were grouped into six different populations such as India-Manipuri (IM), Wuyi-China (WC), Yuyao-China (YC), Fujian-China (FC) and Unkown-China (UC) and France. In total, 12 haplotypes were observed from six Muscovy population. The India-Manipuri (IM) population contributes 8 haplotypes. The AMOVA test shows high (75.12%) genetic variation within population. The NJ phylogenetic tree shows the intermingled China, India and France Muscovy populations. In order to find the depth of haplotype differences, the median joining network was constructed whereby H1 haplotype were shared by India and China population. Moreover, except H1 haplotype, other seven haplotypes from IM population were not observed to be shared with China population. Most importantly 33 InDel sites were observed, with regard to that another MJ network was constructed based on the InDel (Insertion-Deletion) sites or including alignment gaps. This InDel MJ network shows that India and China haplotypes separation based on H5 and H1 haplotype, and star-like structure also observed in both the networks.
