Where do wholphins live in the wild?
They do not eat anything that i know of
What is the rarest hybrid mammal?
Wholphins are one of the rarest hybrid animals. They come from the crossbreeding of a female bottle-nosed dolphin and a male false killer whale (a member of the dolphin family that isn't related to killer whales)
Where can one go to see pictures of mixed animals?
Pictures of hybrid animals can be found all over the internet. Some of these hybrid animals include: Liges, Zebriods, Grolar Bears, Wholphins, Savannah cats, Camas and many more.
What are a wholphin's habitat?
Wholphins are not a naturally occurring species in the wild as they are hybrid offspring of a false killer whale and a dolphin. However, in theoretical terms, they would likely inhabit tropical or temperate marine waters, where both parent species are typically found. They would likely share habitats with dolphins and whales in coastal and open ocean environments.
Are there other crossed animals besides zedonks wholphins and ligers?
Several species of macropods (kangaroos and wallabies) have been bred. Mules are horse/donkey hybrids. Green and marine iguanas have been bred together. Africanized Killer bees are hybrids of European and African honey bees. Llamas and camels have been bred together. Dogs, wolves and coyotes can all interbreed. Gleeps are the hybrids of goats and sheep. Recently, there has benn an increase of grolar bears, polar and grizzly bear hybrids.
Can a hybrid reproduce sexually?
a species is a group of animals that can breed together to produce fertile offspring.Ligers, Mules, they aren't a species, they are a combination of two species, hence the name hybrid, they can't reproduce because, the two different species have two different numbers of chromosomes. Species can reproduce within their own species, because each individual within the species has the same number of chromosomes.The hybrids can't reproduce because the sex cells would never be fertilized, as their chromosomes would be wrong. The hybrids would never occur in nature, and they were created by man, I don't know how they accomplished this, but, anyway, that's why the hybrids can't reproduce.Not the best scientific answer, but I did my best. :DThis answer is incorrect. Although it is rare, hybrid species can and do produce fertile offspring. Here is some information I found that further explains this as well as the site I found it on.Interbreeding doesn't always spell doom. When Florida's panther population plummeted to fewer than 30 during the 1980s, the animals began inbreeding inbreeding, mating of closely related organisms. Inbreeding is chiefly used as a means of insuring the preservation of specific desired traits among the offspring of purebred animals (see breeding). mating among direct relatives who share remarkably similar gene sets. Inbreeding, which greatly increases the odds of birth defects birth defects, abnormalities in physical or mental structure or function that are present at birth. They range from minor to seriously deforming or life-threatening. A major defect of some type occurs in approximately 3% of all births. , spawned cubs with crooked tails, heart defects, and other medical problems. In other words put differently it made the panther population dangerously unfit for survival. To widen the gene pool--the total collection of genes in a species--the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS USFWS United States Fish and Wildlife Service ) brought in a closely related subspecies subspeciesthe Texas cougar.But even more threatening to species preservation are hybrids that can reproduce. For example, over the past decade Midwestern barred owls have pushed westward to the Pacific coast where they've settled in the forest habitat of endangered spotted owls--and bred with them to create sparred owls. "It's a nasty situation," says Susan Haig, a wildlife ecologist at Oregon State University.http://www.thefreelibrary.com/The+mating+game:+ligers,+zorses,+wholphins,+and+other+hybrid+animals...-a097235872Source(s):A-Level Biology________________________________________________________________________found at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090621112143AAq3VdP this is totaly not mine. just trying to help
