The 1951 book Mammalian Hybrids reported tiger/leopard matings were infertile, producing spontaneously aborted "walnut-sized fetuses". A tigard is the hybrid offspring of a tiger and a leopardess. The only known attempts to mate the two have produced stillborns. In 1900, Carl Hagenbeck crossed a female leopard with a Bengal tiger.
There are no known hybrids between Neofelis (the clouded leopard) and other genera. By contrast, many genera of Felinae are interfertile with each other, though few hybridize under natural conditions, and not all combinations are likely to be viable (e.g. between the tiny rusty-spotted cat and the leopard-sized cougar).
A pumapard is a hybrid of a cougar and a leopard. Both male cougar with female leopard and male leopard with female cougar pairings have produced offspring. In general, these hybrids have exhibited a tendency to dwarfism.
The Bengal cat breed was created by crossing the Asian leopard cat (ALC) with domestic cats to produce a gorgeous spotted cat breed. This took place in the 1970s and their popularity has increased ...
Horses can breed with Przewalski's horse to produce fertile hybrids. Mule, a cross of female horse and a male donkey. Hinny, a cross between a female donkey and a male horse. Mules and hinnies are examples of reciprocal hybrids. Kunga, a cross between a donkey and a Syrian wild ass. Zebroids. Zeedonk or zonkey, a zebra/donkey cross. Zorse, a ...
At Catster I learned, "Cheetahs don’t roar like lions; they simply purr and meow just like regular house cats. Although these little big cats can weigh in at up to 160 lbs., their anatomy is in ...
Cheetahs are active mainly during the day, [65] whereas other carnivores such as leopards and lions are active mainly at night; [70] [102] These larger carnivores can kill cheetahs and steal their kills; [58] hence, the diurnal tendency of cheetahs helps them avoid larger predators in areas where they are sympatric, such as the Okavango Delta ...
Unfortunately for endangered cheetahs, that sets them up for more potential conflicts with mostly nocturnal competing predators such as lions and leopards, say the authors of research published ...
