Hybrid Creations You May Never Have Seen Before

Mangalica – Pig/Boar

The Mangalica is not a hybrid in the real sense of the word. It sure looks like one though. With the features of both a sheep and a pig, it is a very strange member of the Suidae family. The Suidae family encompasses the entire pig and boar genus. A Hungarian pig bred for lard production, the Mangelica faced possible extinction in the 1980s. Breeding programs brought this wooly pig back from the brink. Their wool is not suited to any type of product, but they are prized for their meat and lard.
