Hybridizations / mutations do occur naturally. That is how a species may address environmental stressors which require a species to adapt or perish.

Interestingly, a species will work to change and adapt as a means of survival. Humans tend to maintain and cause mutations / hybrids because they're pretty.

Natural hybrids are an attempt at survival. Hybrids caused by humans are an attempt at being cute & useful.
