Mythical creatures have always fascinated us - from magical unicorns and dragons to griffons and Manticore; the folklore was never short of coming up with these fantasy animals. The reason why so many of these animal combinations 'exist' is probably that new species, when spotted for the first time left an exaggerated impression to the beholder, thus becoming a more impressive version of the real animal and their hybrids.
Another reason is that these mythical creatures often were allegories, carrying some secret messages with them. Well, no matter the reasons, these weird animals are surely a sight.
Now, with the advent of Photoshop, mythical creatures and photoshopped animals are easier than ever to create and share with your friends!
Several online communities are dedicated to hybrid-creature creation: Bored Panda previously had a mega-list of animal pictures, and Reddit has a large community over at /r/HybridAnimals. We've written about some members of that weird photo community, too! Feel free to submit your funny animals to the list below as well.

I spend all my time watching nature documentaries and this thing STILL took me off guard! Looks so real! Well freaking done! I'd give all my points to you if I could!

If THIS took you off guard, you haven't taken a look at some of the other animals! like The Ferocious Schnowlzer, or the Birboon, or Flying Foxkudu. This site is full of surprises!

This hybrid animal is the lion × guinea pig. In Japan, the guinea pig is pronounced as "marmot".

In our exploration of mythical creatures, it's fascinating to see how creative minds have harnessed modern tools like Photoshop to breathe life into fantastical beings. This mirrors the ingenuity behind artistic projects where traditional creatures are reimagined with unique twists.
For those intrigued by such creations, discovering hybrid animals with an unexpected twist can be a captivating experience.

The article is great! Definitely will use some tips. Unfortunately, I can’t do this. I use photo retouchers online. Reliable professional photo editing services for photographers is hard to find nowadays though there’re a lot of companies willing to suggest their photo editing services. I like cooperating with photographer’s edit, lavalu and fixthephoto.com because they provide with professional retouching at reasonable prices. I will definitely keep using their photographic retouching.
