Jumart

Common card · No. 426663

A jumart, bif, or baf is a mythical hybrid between a bull or cow and an equine (horse or donkey). Descriptions of such animals appear in numerous naturalist texts and travel accounts from the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s. Such hybridization is now believed to be biologically impossible. The described specimens are now thought to have been hinnies (hybrids of a male horses and female donkeys) or equines afflicted with achondroplasia.
