The social bond and parental attention of reptiles appears equal in circulus containing egg-laying reptiles compared to those with live bearing reptiles. Another case of egg-laying lizards with a circulus is the red-eyed crocodile skink (Tribolonotus gracilis). The female will sit on the egg and guard the young.
Wild water buffalo and domestic water buffalo can hybridize freely. Subfamily Caprinae. Sheep-goat hybrids, such as the toast of Botswana. Family Camelidae. Cama, a cross between a male dromedary and a female llama, also an intergeneric hybrid. Dromedary and Bactrian camels can crossbreed and produce a one large-humped Hybrid camel.
The (northern) coal skink was first described by Baird in 1850; the southern subspecies P. a. pluvialis was identified by Cope in 1880. They are the near the ancestral form for the fasciatus group. [4] The southern coal skink as a subspecies has posterior supralabials with light centers and dark edges, producing a spotted appearance.
