It isn't a hybrird. They fused the embryos together resulting in mismatched parts. A chimera has four parents. I guess.

A chimera is a single organism that has 2 or more genetically different cell lines. That can happen a whole bunch of different ways - and is much more common (in humans) than once thought, although its usually not detected unless there are skin, hair, or eye color anomalies. Tortoiseshell cats are chimeras.

I didn't. Wiki did. That's why I said,"I guess" because I wasn't sure. Thanks for the info!

Well I don't want that nasty Wiki crowd fondling this sweet little baby's embryos, either. Perverts.
