Chimera: Creature from Greek mythology composed of parts from different animals (i.e. the body of a lioness, a goat's head growing out of its back and a snake for a tail.)

In modern biological research "chimeric" animals have been genetically engineered to possess cells taken from different creatures e.g. mice that have blood (or even brain matter) that is 100% human.

Song inspired by the book Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood.
