Blood Parrot Cichlid – Cichlid/Midas
The Blood Parrot Cichlid is an odd fish. Literally. It is a deliberate hybrid of the Cichlid and Midas fish. The result is an appealing pet fish, a more unique alternative to the common goldfish. While they look fascinating, they do suffer a couple of genetically caused flaws. The most striking thing is that their mouths don’t close. Their jaws are misaligned and this makes eating a challenge. Because they expend more energy to achieve the same nutritional intake, the BPC spends a lot more time eating.
Mulard – Hybrid Of the Mule
The Mulard is another genetic hybridization of the Mule. A cross between a Pekin and Muscovy duck, this bird is not bred for its looks and temperament. It is a culinary staple and is farmed specifically for this purpose. They are more sedentary than their parent breeds, and their generally calm disposition seems to make for better meat. We could all agree that this bird resembles the iconic swan in notable ways, although the swan has a much longer neck.
