Is it even possible?

Like Jacqui said, this hybrid is not possible.

Obviously you've never watched th cartoon "Catdog".
I work with a guy who is around 6'4" and covered with hair from head to toe, he is obviously a human/bigfoot hybrid! His nickname is "Sasquatch".
GeoTerraTestudo said:Even if it were genetically possible (which I seriously doubt), the courtship behaviors of tortoises and pond turtles are very different. Plus, even if you put them together and they don't try to mate (which they won't), they could still spread diseases to each other. Don't try it.
Jacqui said:No, sorry it is not possible.
ascott said:Eeewwwww.....I knew a really hairy guy once...his wife would not allow him to stand about in the kitchen when she was making meals because if he stood in one spot a moment then there would be hair where he was standing...he would shave in the am and by the afternoon he would have a beard again...for real, it was weird and cool at the same time....
GeoTerraTestudo said:And it's a good thing, too. Artificially hybridizing animals is morally dubious as it is, but hybridizing humans with other apes would be extremely unethical.
wellington said:I think it's pretty sad that your friend would even want to do something like that. Can't people stop with hybrids, or like the idiot dog people like to call it, designer dogs/breeds. They are mutts! Nothing bad with mutts, until you start breeding them on purpose.
Jacqui said:Why unethical with human/apes, but only morally dubious with the rest?
