Yuri (or Yury, Юрий/Юрiй/Юры) is a pretty common slavic name, with the same origins as George but on a different linguistic path. Wikipedia lists a lot of people with this name, including the founder of the city of Moscow Yuri Dolgorukiy (surname translates roughly as Long-handed), chairman of KGB Yuri Andropov, but interestingly doesn’t list Yuri Knorozov who is famous for deciphering Maya script and for including his cat Asya as a co-author of his papers.

Don’t quote me on that, but as far as I understand it, the scientists needed a control group for some experiment in breeding one of those species of fish, so they paired it with a different species, so far removed evolutionarily that the scientists believed there’s 0% chance of hybridization. Like there’s 0% chance of getting a hybrid of a platypus and a polar bear, for example. But then, against all odds and expectations, these two species of fish have produced a hybrid.

They do, in both lesbian and cannibalistic ways.
