#WeirdArtToot time!

This week, I found out about an old-school #mythicalcreature that I’d somehow never noticed before, despite their presence in folklore since at least the 17th century.

The featured creature is the #Jumart, a hybrid #monster, but a mundane one- part horse and part bull.

This #anomoly barely qualifies as #mythical, since there are genetically unusual, but wholly equine horses that look like this.

The #Curiosities #Deyrolle chart shows some other strange farm #chimaeras.

@helma Aside: Reminded me that Horse-Cow hybrids are called Jumarts . . .

Edge case to be added to Apple's AI.

Jumarts: Horse-cows and donkey-cows - Eugene McCarthy, PhD Genetics

Though many biologists don’t believe they are possible, horse-cow hybrids and donkey-cow hybrids, known as jumarts, have been repeatedly reported. Many such reports are quoted below, together with documenting photos and videos.
