Definitely not a Xingu, hybrid of some sort?

looks more like an orino.

They had some hybrids when I bought this one, so I thought maybe it got mixed up. I should just go back and ask, but I'm trying to not spend money right now and if I go there, I'll end up with something. Maybe they'll be out of fogo and I'll be less tempted.

Recently, one of the sellers offered me this new hybrid. The prices are also quite high since it's the first time it’s being introduced to the market. Can anyone identify the breeds that were mixed?

Can you get them here in the states. I'd maybe take one or 2. They are very interesting look for a hybrid
