I would select the DNA of an octopus and a hummingbird to create a "Super Creature." The octopus offers incredible camouflage and problem-solving skills, while the hummingbird's unique flight capabilities and rapid metabolism would allow the creature to navigate various environments with agility and speed. A potential risk to this experiment could be unpredictable behavior or ecological impacts if the organism were to be released into the wild, disrupting local ecosystems.
Imagine this-you work for a biotech company with special access to technology to help you genetically modify organisms. If you could genetically combine the DNA of any two organisms pictured below to create a new, "Super Creature", which two would you select and why? What would be a potential risk to your experiment?
Grading Considerations

Two of the organisms pictured
An explanation of why you selected those two creature to make a "Super Creature"
A potential risk to the experiment
