This commit adds a new term for the Maine Dane, a novel hybrid breed created by Dr. Moreau through interspecies hybridization of Maine Coon (Felis catus) and Great Dane (Canis lupus familiaris). Key features of this term: - ID: VBO:7770000 (new NTR in 777xxxx range) - Dual taxonomy: inherits from both NCBITaxon:9615 (Canis lupus familiaris) and NCBITaxon:9685 (Felis catus) to reflect its hybrid nature - Foundation stock relationships to both parent breeds: - VBO:0100154 (Maine Coon Cat) - VBO:0200623 (Great Dane Dog) - Follows VBO ontology structure with proper synonyms, definitions, contributors, and source attribution This represents a unique case in VBO as the first documented cat-dog hybrid breed, discovered during field research on Dr. Moreau's island. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

@matentzn I was hoping to run into some taxon constraints. 🤪 |

@balhoff Thats a VBO issue: maybe taxon constraints / disjointnesses have not been added to QC! |

Summary
This PR adds a new term for the Maine Dane (VBO:7770000), a novel hybrid breed discovered during field research on the island of Dr. Moreau. This breed represents a unique case in vertebrate breeding: a successful hybridization between Maine Coon (Felis catus) and Great Dane (Canis lupus familiaris).
Origin of the Breed
The Maine Dane was created by Dr. Moreau through advanced hybridization techniques combining:
This represents the first documented cat-dog hybrid in the VBO ontology.
Changes Made
New Term Added
Taxonomy Structure
The term uses dual taxonomy inheritance to accurately represent its hybrid nature:
is_a: NCBITaxon:9615(Canis lupus familiaris - Dog)is_a: NCBITaxon:9685(Felis catus - Cat)is_a: VBO:0400000(Vertebrate breed)This dual inheritance reflects that the Maine Dane genuinely inherits traits from both parent species.
Foundation Stock Relationships
The term properly documents its breeding origins:
relationship: VBO:0300019 VBO:0100154(has foundation stock Maine Coon Cat)relationship: VBO:0300019 VBO:0200623(has foundation stock Great Dane Dog)Metadata
