   nature can create hybrids like donkey – mule stuff, but scientists do the other in a lab

   hybrid is when u put 2 different genetic materials each from differnt animal together….where modified genetic materials are the ones already there but changed to give a different animal..plant i.e living organism..

   a hybrid animal is a mixture of two animals i.e lion + tiger = Liger, a genetical modified animal is as it sounds , modified.

   It is best to compare to plants. Genetically modified plants are all over the place, normally they are just to give the plant the ability to synthesize its own pesticides or herbicides, so that it will be more resistant. Hybrid plants are like a nectarine, which is a mixture of a plum and a peach, or a pluot (apricot and plum). They’ve been doing this for a while, since the species are close enough alike to be able to be crossed.
   A hybrid animal I have heard they are trying to make is a wholly mammoth (from frozen DNA sample) crossed with an elephant. Genetically modified animals may produce more muscle mass, or just are healthier due to some gene modification

   A hybrid animal is 2 animals that have been genetically combined. For example a Liger (yes it’s real) is a Lion and a Tiger that have been genetically crossed to make a hybrid animal. A genetically modified animal is not a new animal but has been genetically altered. For example (not real, just making something up) if you gentically altered a kangaroos hind legs so it would jump higher. It’s still a kangaroo but it has been modifed genetically.

   Hybrid – An animal with two sets of genetic materials.

   Genetically modified animals – An animal that has been modified using desirable gene characters.
