A pair of Mottled Ducks slowly paddled through the quiet marsh at Celery Fields Nature Area, Florida. They superficially resemble female Mallards, and sometimes will crossbreed with Mallards. In the picture, the male with the yellow bill trails the female.
Mottled Ducks are found along the Gulf Coast, primarily in Florida and Texas.
This Canada Goose x Greylag Goose hybrid was seen with a flock of Greylags at Farmoor Reservoir in Oxfordshire on 14th December 2020. This is the first time I have seen this crossbreed.
When I was trying to take a birthday photo of Flori I spotted SQL posing beautifully next to her - HMT & HMBT!

if was once the biggest cathedral of Scotland and lies in the north-east in the town of the same name. By the end of 13. Jh the cathedral was finished. Wolf of Badenoch, a crossbreed of the king Robert II, as a revenge act destroyed them 1390 for his excommunication. As an excuse for his action he bragged, he has thought, the bishop would stay just in the cathedral. To 1402 the lantern of the north was rebuilt. In addition, she suffered from John Knox ’ to iconoclasts and Cromwells troops which destroyed the last tracery. On Easter Sunday in 1711 the central tower collapsed and the ruins became the stone quarry.
It’s 2 years today since we lost this old fella. Never a day passes without thinking about him. His picture takes pride of place on our wall. He left a huge mark on us all….xx.

Mallards are known as Dirty Mallards due to the fact that the crossbreed with other ducks, these are I believe Mallard / Pintail crosses.
Also can be known as "Domestic Mallard Ducks"
Photo taken at sunrise, but the sun failed to put in an appearance, so I had to brighten a rather dull photo 😊
My first photo of the year, taken about 20 minutes after sunrise today. As it was Sunday I played with it a bit - HSS!
Nelore (Bos indicus), is a breed of cattle originating in India. It has a white coat and black fur, which gives it an extraordinary tolerance to heat. The first specimens arrived in Brazil at the end of the 18th century, and quickly became predominant in the Brazilian herd (85% of the total herd). It spread throughout South America and, mainly, in Brazil due to its high fertility in pasture, and its ability to survive. The Nelore is the base breed for crossbreeding beef cattle in Brazil.
The breed has as its main characteristics adaptability to the tropics, being very rustic and resistant to diseases and parasites. In addition, the breed delivers good quality meat and market acceptance.
With these characteristics the "Nelore" is raised and fattened in the pasture without receiving any food supplement except mineral salt in the trough.

SQL is injured - he cut his paw, but nevertheless he agreed to help me with today's theme - what a trooper 💕 HSoS!
Lazy day in Aviemore today. Ginger looking like she rules the place with Arthur in the background keeping a watchful eye over her ❤️... here’s both of them www.flickr.com/gp/mrs_murray/Ae30Z5 xx
Bengals are the only domestic cat with rosettes that resemble the markings on leopards, jaguars and ocelots. Bengal Cats are curious and confident with the tameness of a domestic tabby and the beauty of an Asian Leopard Cat. The first crossbreed was performed by Jean Mill in 1963, but the hybrid wasn’t perfected until the mid-1980s. Today, Bengals are bred only with each other.
A wild Homing Pigeon tracked down in forests of Nort Bengal
India.
Homing Pigeon derives from many different crossbreeds, all used for flight. This breed was selected in Germany many years ago and it was also used during the war period as a carrier of information. Homing Pigeon is solid, elegant, high posture; often it has an elongated head, eyes contour is marked and its posture is quite horizontal. Within Allevamento Poggio di Ponte, Homing Pigeon is in several nuances, extremely different one from another.

At first glance, it appeared the older duckling was the offspring of a Mallard duck. But as the ducklings continued to come into view from around a corner, the mother appeared and looked more like a Muscovy duck but without as much of the red skin around the head which characterized the species.
I found that Mallard ducks, Mottled ducks, and Muscovy ducks can interbreed with each other. So in this case the duckling is a hybrid from a Mallard and Muscovy duck cross breed. A very amazing sight to see and very interesting.
A cross between a Muscovy Duck and a Mallard (Cairina moschata x Anas platyrhynchos).
The Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) is a large duck native to the Americas, from the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and Mexico south to Argentina and Uruguay. Small wild and feral breeding populations have established themselves in the United States, particularly in Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, the Big Island of Hawaii, as well as in many other parts of North America, including southern Canada. Feral Muscovy ducks are found in New Zealand, Australia, and in parts of Europe.
The mallard or wild duck (Anas platyrhynchos) is a dabbling duck that breeds throughout the temperate and subtropical Americas, Eurasia, and North Africa, and has been introduced to New Zealand, Australia, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, the Falkland Islands, and South Africa. This duck belongs to the subfamily Anatinae of the waterfowl family Anatidae. Mallards live in wetlands, eat water plants and small animals, and are social animals preferring to congregate in groups or flocks of varying sizes. - Wikipedia
Waterfowl, which includes ducks, geese, and swans, crossbreed more often than any other family of birds. Scientists have recorded more than 400 hybrid combinations among waterfowl species. Mallards and wood ducks in particular have demonstrated the capability of hybridizing with a surprisingly wide range of other species. In North America, one of the most common wild hybrids results from the mallard/pintail breeding. Mallards also commonly crossbreed with black ducks, wigeon, shovelers, cinnamon teal, green-winged teal, and gadwalls. (ducks.org) I saw this beauty in Lexington, Kentucky. I am not sure what type of Mallard hybrid cross this is and am open to suggestions...
The alpaca is a species of South American camelid mammal. It is similar to, and often confused with, the llama. However, alpacas are often noticeably smaller than llamas. The two animals are closely related and can successfully crossbreed. Wikipedia

Highland cattle (Scottish Gaelic: Bò Ghàidhealach; Scots: Heilan coo) are a Scottish cattle breed. They have long horns and long wavy coats that are coloured black, brindle, red, yellow, white, silver (looks white but with a black nose) or dun, and they are raised primarily for their meat. They originated in the Highlands and Outer Hebrides islands of Scotland and were first mentioned in the 6th century AD. The first herd book described two distinct types of Highland cattle but, due to crossbreeding between the two, only one type now exists and is registered. They have since been exported worldwide.
They are a hardy breed, having been bred to withstand the conditions in the Scottish Highlands. Their long hair gives the breed its ability to overwinter. Bulls can weigh up to 800 kilograms (1,800 pounds) and cows up to 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds). Their milk generally has a very high butterfat content, and their meat, regarded as of the highest quality, is gaining mainstream acceptance as it is lower in cholesterol than other varieties of beef.

I must have spend the best part of a hour trying to get there noses out of the grass when along came a young lady and her Jack Russell that certainly got there attention.
