The hybrid iguana is a first-generation hybrid, the result of intergeneric breeding between a male marine iguana (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) and a female Galapagos land iguana (Conolophus subcristatus) on South Plaza Island in the Galápagos Islands, where the territories of the two species overlap.
A hybrid iguana, the result of interbreeding between a marine iguana and a Galápagos land iguana. Researchers theorize that Galapagos land iguanas (genus Conolophus) and marine iguanas evolved from a common ancestor since arriving on the islands from Central or South America, presumably by rafting.

A cold-stunned iguana that fell from a tree when temperatures dropped in 40s in West Palm Beach, Florida on Dec. 26, 2022. The low temperature immobilize the cold blooded reptiles until it gets ...
This is a list of genetic hybrids which is limited to well documented cases of animals of differing species able to create hybrid offspring which may or may not be infertile. Hybrids should not be confused with genetic chimeras , such as that between sheep and goat known as the geep .
The prickly pear cactus trees (Opuntia galapageia) are noteworthy, as is the large colony of Galápagos land iguanas. Furthermore, the territory and breeding season of the Galapagos land iguana overlap only on South Plaza Island with those of the marine iguana, giving rise to a unique population of hybrid iguanas.

In 2016 the first evidence was presented that the green iguana, Iguana iguana, an invasive species which has achieved a giant population on Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac, was able to hybridise with the Lesser Caymans iguana. Three hybrid hatchlings were found on Little Cayman Island, these are the first unambiguous hybrids between I. iguana and ...
Broccolini was developed in Japan over the course of eight years as a hybrid designed for a milder flavor and better growth in warmer climates. It debuted in the United States in 1996, with ...
