I do not understand the premise of this character. Human/wolf/lynx? how? what? why? x.x
If it was a lynx-wolf hybrid, or an anthropomorphic lynx that was bitten by a werewolf, but...I just do not comprehend the meaning of this combination of words.

It's not the question of >>how<< she got that way. It's more that I just don't know what the term means. I've always seen "hybrid" refer to a cross of two things, usually in terms of breeding, like a mule is a horse-donkey hybrid, or a liger is a lion-tiger hybrid.

well hybrids don't have to be two.for example people can be more than 2 races.They could be considered hybrids I guess,but you might wanna ask crazyrabidpony herself this.Then again this is her thread.Maybe you should PM her.

Excuse me for inviting myself into everybody else's conversations. ^^; But, once again, I just can't keep my big, blathering trap shut. well hybrids don't have to be two.for example people can be more than 2 races.They could be considered hybrids I guess,but you might wanna ask crazyrabidpony herself this.Then again this is her thread.Maybe you should PM her. is far different from species. Virtually any human of any racial background can have a child to another human of any race, but that's because they're both humans. They're the same species. In nature, hybrids are infertile. That's part of the very definition of "species". If two animals cannot interbreed and create fertile offspring, if any offspring at all, and therefore continue the line of genetics, then they are different species. But this is a universe in which a human can be genetically crossed with a cockroach, so a scientifically engineered three-way cross-species could still be plausible within the context of the MvA universe, if somewhat more of a stretch. It's one thing to cross two animals; it's another to cross three or more. I'm pretty sure, though, that Fuzzy's mainly just concerned with the terminology. A hybrid refers to a single organism formed from the DNA of two (or hypothetically, three or more) different species, whether naturally by interbreeding or scientifically by cloning, etc. If Haley started out fully human and was altered via DNA transfusions and the like, that would make her more like a chimera. |
