We love seeing the magical images created by masters of Photoshop, so when we stumbled across a section of Reddit dedicated to creatinghybrid animalswe were ecstatic.
These photos imagine a world where anything is possible and create a variety of new breeds by merging one or more species together. The results are incredible - hilarious, intriguing and thought-provoking.
Crocodile Bear
We’ve seen some pretty terrifying hybrid animals on this list, but this one really takes the biscuit.
All the power and ferocity of a bear and a crocodile combined into a surprisingly happy-looking dude. Not something we’d ever want to come across in the real world, that’s for sure.
Magpie Whale
Another small creature with far too many teeth for our liking.
Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” would likely have been even more terrifying if the birds had been part killer whale.
Man Bear Pig
Someone has taken theManBearPigcharacter from South Park and made it a horrific reality through the power of Photoshop.
Looks like he’s suffering from roid rage and really isn’t best pleased with something.
Hedgehog Toad
Both spikey and slimy at the same time, this little hedgehog toad would probably have more chance of surviving in the wild and with a long tongue, they might even have more success keeping clean.
Some of these hybrid creatures might have a better life than the real thing.
Owl hybrids just work really well. They’re either terrifying or marvellously majestic.
Wise tigers would also be an interesting creature to see in action, as long as it was from a safe distance with David Attenborough narrating.
Shrek’s Donkey
What if Donkey from Shrek wasn’t just a real-life donkey, but also a hybrid?
Imagine that world and the interesting conversations you could have with him.
Toucan Chameleon
Just when you didn’t think Chameleons could get any more colourful, someone blended one with a Toucan.
This one looks like it might be a bit front-heavy, but certainly interesting.
Cat Elephant
Take a brief moment, if you will, to imagine the furballs this thing would cough up.
Of course, it’s an Elephant Cat or Cat Elephant or Kittyphant - so no hair, no problem. We wonder if it would like belly rubs still though?
Cat Spider
We’re not generally scared of spiders, but this one is genuinely terrifying.
Hairy, angry, capable of hissing and leaping great distances while always landing on its feet. Yikes!
Orangutang Panda
Some of these hybrid animal photos make for fairly cute and cuddly-looking creatures. This so-called Orangupanda looks like a happy chappy indeed.
Relaxing, contently looking off into the distance perhaps daydreaming about bamboo shoots or bananas. We’re not sure, but we love it.
