Currently Playing: How Hybrid Animals Are Taking Over North America

Hybrid animals are becoming more common across North America, but what happens when species that were never meant to meet begin interbreeding? In this video, we explore the fascinating science behind some of the continent's most notorious hybrids. We discover how human activity, habitat change, and farming have created these unusual hybrids, and whether they represent adaptation, a growing ecological threat, or something in between.
