Check out these 10 not so commonly seen animal hybrids.

Sure you would expect to see llamas, cows and donkeys on a farm, but check out these 10 not so commonly seen animal hybrids.

Number 10 -- The Featherless Chicken is a real bizarre one. Resulting from breeding naturally occurring mutant chickens born with typical broiler chickens, the offspring ends up feather-free, which means no plucking is required.

Number 9 -- The Zebroid is a common name for all hybrid zebras, most typically being the offspring of the striped animals and horses. However, zebras and donkeys or mules have also been bred. The coolest aspect is that no two look alike, with differing colors and uneven stripes.

Number 8 -- While you wouldn't see one on a farm or most likely ever in life, the narwhal beluga hybrid is an exceptionally rare creature. Narwhals, due to their long spiraled tusks crossed with the beluga whale make for an unmistaken appearance. Only one confirmed hybrid has been documented thus far.

Number 7 -- The cama is produced from South American llamas and camels originating from Asia. The first camas were created by artificial insemination. The end result was an animal with the temperament of a camel, the opposite of what breeders were hoping for.

Number 6 -- Iron age pigs are the handiwork of scientists. A male wild boar paired with a Tamworth sow form an animal that resembles something from ancient artwork. As an added bonus, the pig produces some awesome, mouth watering meat.

Number 5 -- The Coywolf is a natural hybrid. Thanks to destroyed habitats, coyotes and wolves were forced to live in close proximity. Instead of turning on each other, they opted to get a little cozy. The Coywolf is a rather large animal with long legs.

Number 4 -- Combine domestic cattle with American bisons, what do ya get? The Beefalo. Not only do they have a rather attractive appearance, they also reportedly minimize the amount of damage to farmland and produce lower fat meat.

Number 3 -- The Dzo is a cross between cattle and yaks. Although the males are infertile, the females can reproduce without issues. They are larger in size and stronger than their purebred predecessors.

Number 2 -- The yaks appear again, but this time they mate with a buffalo. The resulting offspring is called a yakalo. Although the hybrids were only limited to land in Alberta, Canada and aren't still actively cross bred, they reportedly handled the harsh winters perfectly and had excellent meat.

Number 1 -- Sheep-Goats, as you may guess the creatures are a mix between sheep and goats. Given that both animals belong to a different genus, mating attempts often result in the babies being born as stillborns.
