a hybrid cross between Phractocephalus hemioliopterus
(Redtail Cat) and a Pseudoplatystoma species,
possibly P. corruscans, but more than likely
P. tigrinum. Remarks:Hybrid is the progeny of two individuals
belonging to different species; the progeny of two
individuals belonging to different subspecies of the
same species are not hybrids.
