The only being in Glücksburg: Flumo, the first cunning, sees the light
A very special event has taken place on the "Flight Mode" Techno Festival in Glücksburg: the birth of a hybrid, which is known as a "bowl", attracts great attention in the region. This extraordinary creature is a cross between sheep and goat, and although there is still no precise scientific confirmations, the small animal named Flumo seems to be a fascinating example of zoological cross -border commuters.
The farm owner Dag, who does not give his last name for privacy reasons, are now the focus of reporting. Flumo, with its white fur and the characteristic brown spots, shows characteristics by both parent species. His father, the goat stake rune, has similar colors, which leads to the assumption that an intersection has actually come about. "I would never have thought that I would experience such an animal," says Dag, who repeatedly emphasizes how surprised he was about the birth.
intersections are exceptional, but possible
Flumo's birth raises questions: How does such hybrids come about? Sheep and goats come from the same subfamily of the goat species, their chromosomal differential makes such intersections extremely rare. The late animal researcher Professor Christoph Knorr from the University of Göttingen once stated that such births are "absolute exceptions", and this increases the interest in this special case. Dag would like to be able to confirm Flumos genetic origin through scientific tests, but at the moment he has to struggle with financial hurdles.
Nonetheless, DAG does not miss the joy of his unusual pupil. While he is watching Flumo on the farm, he also has concerns about his security. "I could imagine that Flumo will be another caliber and then it could also fight," he fears. In addition, the farm in a region is known to attack sheep in the wolves, which raises additional worries about the survival of the unusual creature.
The formation of hybrids is not entirely unknown in nature. In the recent past there have also been other remarkable examples. A cappuccino bear was born in the Osnabrück Zoo, a mixture of polar bear and brown bear, which also caused a sensation. Such hybrid animals always bring exciting knowledge into animal science research.
With Flumo, Dag has brought a piece of uncertainty and astonishment into his world, and the community around the farm is excited to see how this story will continue to develop. The uniqueness and puzzle about the little being ensure that the observations at the Hof of Glücksburg will surely arouse the interest of many people in the near future.
