The domestic cat, African wild cat and European wildcat may be considered variant populations of the same species (Felis silvestris), making such crosses non-hybrids. Serengeti, a hybrid crossbreed of a Bengal and an Oriental Shorthair. Chausie, a hybrid between a jungle cat and domestic cat. Subfamily Pantherinae. Genus Panthera

The offspring of a sheep–goat pairing is generally stillborn. Despite widespread shared pasturing of goats and sheep, hybrids are very rare, demonstrating the genetic distance between the two species. They are not to be confused with sheep–goat chimera, which are artificially created by combining the embryos of a goat and a sheep.
Altricial birds are less able to contribute nutrients in the pre-natal stage; their eggs are smaller and their young are still in need of much attention and protection from predators. This may be related to r/K selection; however, this association fails in some cases. [18] In birds, altricial young usually grow faster than precocial young.

Three closely related varieties of goats found in the wild are not usually called ibex: the markhor, western tur, and eastern tur. A male ibex is referred to as a buck, a female is a doe, and young juveniles are called kids. [1] An ibex buck is commonly larger and heavier than a doe.
Some animals starve to death shortly after birthing their young while others are eaten by their own young -- but these mothers make the ultimate sacrifice. Click through for 10 animal mothers that ...
Cat genetics describes the study of inheritance as it occurs in domestic cats. In feline husbandry it can predict established traits ( phenotypes ) of the offspring of particular crosses. In medical genetics , cat models are occasionally used to discover the function of homologous human disease genes.
