Description We're going to pretend this is what a wildebeest hybrid would look like. Wildebeest are one of my favorite animals next to the Hartebeest.


"
Due to their confinement in small areas in South Africa, the two species of wildebeest, the black wildebeest and the blue wildebeest have interbred, resulting in fertile hybrid young. These two species are brought into close contact with each other on game farms and reserves in South Africa. The resulting hybrid young may include characteristics of both species and even some intermediate traits. The hybrids also tended to have strange dental, horn, and skull shapes.

I always thought it was kind of sad they cull the hybrids, though I suppose it makes sense. I've always wanted to know what one would look like as well. Your version makes sense to me

I wish I could just go and take a picture of one! I'm truly interested in what they actually look like, I never really realized just how physically different the species were until now.

I thought you were trolling when you said, "Hartebeest". Turns out its an actual creature. LOL.
