Author Topic: Ligers & Zonkeys Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 05-06-2004 03:54 AM                     I just found out that these animals exist. Also, I was hearing about a human-monkey born. (Not really believing that tho) I want a Liger! A liger is the result of breeding a male lion with a female tiger. It has stripes and spots. The spots are inherited from the lion parent even though adult lions do not appear to be spotted. The liger is a hybrid cat that inherits most of the strengths of both parent species and is larger than either. If you haven't seen a liger before, come visit Hobbs to get a look at the biggest cat you are ever likely to have seen. By way of size comparison, male Siberian tigers (the largest non-extinct naturally occurring member of the cat family, Felidea) average between 400 and 600 pounds. SOURCE Crossing a male ass (donkey — Equus asinus) and a horse (Equus caballus) produces a mule (the reverse is called a hinny). Hybrids between zebras and horses (zorse) and zebras and donkeys (zeedonk, zonkey, zebrass) also readily occur.  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-06-2004 06:02 AM                        There are also Tigons (father Tiger,mother lioness) and many other variations like Pumapards and Leopons Hybrid cats  |  IP: Logged
