Back in the days, crowds gathered in the thousands to watch freak shows of people who looked different. The same behavior occurs when it comes to animal hybrids. Join us, as we look at the top 20 crossbreeding experiments from hell.

Cama
The Cama is a genetic cross between a Dromedary or Bactrian camel and a Llama or alpaca. These two groups will normally breed within their own groups, but they have only recently been able to hybridize. In 1995, a male Dromedary Camel and a female Llama were used to create the first cama. The size difference between a camel and a llama made it impossible for them to mate on their own. Female camels inseminated by male llamas were unable to conceive for unknown reasons. Camas are like llamas in that they lack humps and have a long, fluffy coat. Camas have ears that are halfway between those of a camel and those of a llama. Camas, on the other hand, carry on the camel's distinctive legs, making them ideal for desert use. Camas have a hybrid foot that is halfway between a camel's foot pad and a llama's cloven foot. Since both llamas and camels have 74 chromosomes, the Cama is fertile. However, no offspring from two cama are yet to be born. Camas tend to be more interested in llamas than camels as they reach sexual maturity around the age of four.
Woolly Mammoth
In two years, scientists think they might create a hybrid embryo and "de-extinct" mammoths. A turning moment in the resuscitation of creatures from extinction would occur when key characteristics of the massive mammal, such as long, shaggy hair, substantial layers of fat, and blood adapted to cold climates, were genetically engineered into an Asian elephant. But the creation of a living thing is still several years off. American researchers intend to cultivate the hybrid embryo in a synthetic womb as opposed to using an elephant to serve as a surrogate mother. The number of splices in which mammoth DNA has been inserted into the elephant genome has increased from 15 to 45 since the researchers began the project in 2015. Because woolly mammoths can pierce through snow and let cold air inside, they may be able to stop the melting of tundra permafrost, which would release massive amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. According to a study on simulated ecosystems, the presence of mammoths in Siberia could result in a 20-degree Celsius decline in local temperatures.
