Animal Hybrid Project

You have been chosen to complete a top secret project at the Animal Hybrid Division! We are pleased to have you along this prestigious journey. Your mission description includes finding new hybrid breeds of animals through genetic engineering.

We are looking for the ultimate animal by combing the traits of two other animals. Your task is to choose two animals which you think would create the ultimate superior hybrid animal. You must complete a report that describes the two parent animals, including their traits, size, colorings, behaviors and instincts, variations we would see in sibling animals, along with a drawing, prototype and description of the new hybrid animal. You will present your ideas to the board very soon.

Good luck, we look forward to hearing from you.

Remember, this mission is top secret.
