I had to do this in kindergarten. I chose to combine a frog and a duck and then loudly proclaimed what I would be calling my creation to the rest of the class. And that's the story of how I learned that fuck was a bad word.

I had a similar thing happen as a very young child, though my combination was not fuck but rather dog. I thought it was so funny that the combination for these two animals was a third animal that I began to announce "what would a frog and a duck be?" But before I got to my punchline my art teacher rudely interrupted me and told me I couldn't say that.

It took me many many years to understand what was so taboo about the word dog :(

Tbf the assignment was basically to create an Avatar animal

I'd go for extra credit and cross a mule with a liger.

Neither can produce offspring.

-*-=+ the math checks out.

Usually they are. Haldane’s Rule notes that in hybrids the sex with two different sex chromosomes (XY) is highly likely to be sterile (there’s been a couple of male mules with what should be viable sperm but it never worked) but on rare occasions females (XX) can have viable offspring if the male they mate with is not a hybrid. Coywolves are generally fertile, tigon/liger females occasionally, female mules have reproduced the least and it’s only been documented a handful of times.

Mules have been documented to very rarely reproduce, and female ligers have been bred with both tigers and lions (making ti-ligers and li-ligers, respectively). In any case the math works at least as well as an elephant + duck mating.

Brilliant. That kid is a visionary. I think this is a Photoshoped pic. In fact I think it's the same thing, down to the pose. I hope the same kid grew up and made it.
