Nothing like the ones nature created. I really don't get the infatuation if they were dogs we would call them muts

By popular request, some better pictures. Thanks for all the kind words.

Glad you shared this. Very cool markings. Doesn't look like a "mut" to me.

Is he a hybrid or something?

No, mutts are what the would exist if humans did not intervene.
What you have is selective trait breeding, hence, how the bull dog or a pug has a disfunctional nose they have a hard time breathing. Or a goldfish with large tumor looking bubbles next to his eyes. Or albino versions of this and that. In nature, strong survival traits are what are passed on down the line. So I say, I like the differences in clown fish patterns and colors, as long as the animals look healthy and are kept away from natural populations .

Where do you think labradors, grey hounds, and golden retrievers come from?

Theyre breeds of the domestic dog.

Originating from wolves.


These clowns are selectively bred for their physical traits.
