I don't think this should be mered with Sheep-goat chimera. A chimera is clearly distinct from a hybrid. -- Kaszeta 22:23, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
The animal does not seem to have been known as that. It was just a description in a newspaper article. I also think that that article should be merged here. Salopian ( talk) 21:03, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
I don't know for sure, but these photos I took a couple of years ago could potentially be a sheep-goat. Originally I called it a cow sheep (koeschaap in Dutch) because of the cow-like speckles. Only later I realized that it was more likely to be a sheep-goat hybrid. I don't know if the animal is still alive though. But I'll check it. Notice especially its 4 horns. photos 鈥 Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.164.50.242 ( talk) 05:10, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

It says in this text that "On May 12, 2011, a healthy and fertile geep was born in Bant, Flevoland, the Netherlands. The geep mated with a ewe and on December 25, 2012 two healthy lambs were born." This goes against current axioms in genetics: that male offspring of different species in mammals are necessarily infertile (because they do not have two X chromosomes). Can someone substantiate this? 鈥斅燩receding unsigned comment added by 109.245.120.202 ( talk) 13:41, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
This photo is currently used to illustrate the article, but do we actually know it is a picture of a sheep-goat hybrid? The article gives the impression that surviving individuals are exceedingly rare, and the list of cases does not include one in the Philippines, where the photo seems to have been taken. Of course it is entirely possible that this list is currently incomplete, but to me personally, the photo looks like a Barbados Black Belly sheep. In my experience, this breed has a great superficial similarity to goats, and could easily be mistaken for a sheep-goat hybrid. Lusanaherandraton ( talk) 02:43, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
I guess I should create a space to discuss my WP:BOLD merge with material from Sheep鈥揼oat chimera. I understand that there are differences between the two. However, the subject matter and end result is essentially the same: an organism that contains some combination of sheep and goat DNA. As such, I thought it necessary to eliminate two sparse articles (the chimera one being listed as a stub) by combining the subject matter under one article, taking care to establish the distinction between a hybrid and a genetic chimera. I hope that makes sense. The following "response" was from when I was discussing the title yesterday, but I moved it from its own heading to a response here so that all of my thoughts can be contained together.

That is not a Sheep Goat Hybrid in the image provided in the article, that is a Barbados blackbelly.

this photo appears to be of a hair sheep, not of a geep. The original album shows several sheep of this type, which would be exremely unlikely if these were true geep, which rarely survive to birth. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JfSanSimon7034SnPedrofvf_17.JPG#/media/File:JfSanSimon7034SnPedrofvf_17.JPG the sheep in the photo on this page is at the back of the linked photo here. 69.76.179.226 ( talk) 06:51, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
