Liger/TigonThough they are fascinating animals, they get the last of the list  because they are the most popular known among the hybrids. Ligers are  crossbreeds between a male lion while Tigons are crossbreds between a  male tiger and a female lion. Ligers are the world’s largest cats.  Tigons on the other hand, are prone towards dwarfism and are usually  smaller than either of their parents. Male Ligers/Tigons are sterile  while the females are often fertile. Below shows a liger and its trainer  Dr. Bhagavan Antle at a Renaissance Festival in Massachusetts, USA,  October 2005.<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/liger01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />copyright, Andy Carvin<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/liger02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />copyright, Andy Carvin  Futher Read: <a href="http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/l/ligers.htm" target="_blank">Truth  Or Fiction</a>    9. Wolf DogDogs and wolves tend to crossbreed rather freely. The wolf is a shy  animal depending on nuances in body language, facial expression and on  hunting skills to survive. Their jaws are much stronger than those of a  dog and are often used to exert dominance. For a dog wolf hybrid, it is  not known when it will display a wolf behaviour or dog behaviour or  something in between. Obedience training is a must in order to tame the  animal.<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/wolfdog01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Further Read: <a href="http://www.canismajor.com/dog/wolves.html" target="_blank">Dog’s Owner Guide</a>    8. Iron Age PigDomestic Tamworth pigs are crossbred with wild boar to create ‘Iron Age  Pigs’. The hybrids are tamer than wild boar but less tractable than  domestic swine and generally become specialist pork sausages. Most of  them are bred for the specialist meat trade.<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/ironagepig.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Further Read: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>    7. ZebroidA zorse is the result of crossbreeding a horse and a zebra. A zonkey is  the result of crossbreeding a donkey with a zebra. The Zony is the  result of crossbreeding a pony to a zebra. All these three are called  zebroids - defined as a cross between a zebra and any other equid.  Zebroids are preferred over zebra for practical uses such as riding  because of its body shape. However it is more inclined to be  temperamental and can prove to be difficult to handle.  <img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/zebroid01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A Zorse<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/zonkey01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A Zonkey<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/zony01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A Zony Further Read: <a href="http://www.greenapple.com/%7Ejorp/amzanim/cross03a.htm" target="_blank">Green  Apple</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebroid" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>    6. CamaA Cama is a hybrid between a camel and a llama. They are born via  artificial insemination due to the huge difference in sizes of the  animals which disallow natural breeding. A Cama usually has the short  ears and long tails of a camel but the cloven hooves of a llama. Also  most noticeably is the absence of the hump.<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/cama01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Rama’s parents shown behind, a camel and llama.<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/cama02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This is Rama the Cama at two days old.<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/cama03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Rama at two years of age as a young adult.Further Read: <a href="http://taylorllamas.com/Camel-LamaCrossPhotos.html" target="_blank">Taylor Llamas</a>,  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cama_%28animal%29" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>    5. Grolar, PizzlyA grolar/pizzly hybrid is the product of a grizzly bear and a polar  bear. Although the two bears are genetically similar, they tend to avoid  each other in the wild. During 16 April 2006, a hybrid bear was shot  dead by Jim Martell,a hunter from the United States, in Canada. It was  the first time a hybrid was found in the wild where previous records of  grolars or pizzlies have only been found in zoos.<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/grolar01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/grolar02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A grolar, pizzly displayed at the Rothschild Museum, Tring,  copyright Sarah HartwellFurther Read: <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4766217.stm" target="_blank">BBC News</a>,  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly-polar_bear_hybrid" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>    4. LeoponA Leopon is the result of breeding a male leopard and a female lion. The  head of the animal is similar to that of a lion while the rest of the  bodies carries similarities to leopards. The most successful breeding  programme was at the Koshien Hanshin Park in Nishinomiya City, Japan.  Leopons are larger than leopards and likes to climb and enjoy water.<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/leopon01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/leopon02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A leopon at a zoo.

The result is a hybrid with distinguished colors  from its parents.<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/goldenpheasant.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A Golden Pheasant<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/amherstpheasant.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A Lady Amherst Pheasant<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/hybridpheasant.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Hybrid Pheasant displayed at Rothschild Museum Copyright Sarah  Hartwell Further Read: <a href="http://messybeast.com/genetics/hybrid-birds.htm" target="_blank">Messy Beasts</a>    2. WolphinA wolphin is a rare hybrid formed from a cross between a bottlenose  dolphin and a false killer whale. There are currently only two in  captivity at the Sea Life Park in Hawaii. A wolphin’s size, colour and  shape are intermediate between the parent species. The first captive  wolphin was Kekaimalu, which shows mixed heritage even in its teeth:  bottlenose dolphins have 88, false killer whales have 44 and Kekaimalu  has 66!<img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/wolphin.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Kekaimalu, The Wolphin Further Read: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolphin" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>    1. Ti-Liger, Ti-Tigon, Li-Tigon, Li-LigerThe top spot goes to ti-ligers/ti-tigon/li-tigons/li-ligers because it  is a hybrid among the hybrids. It is a cross breed between a male tiger  and a female liger/tigon or a male lion with a female tigon/liger. Do  note that female ligers or tigons are fertile. They are extremely rare  and are in mostly private ownership within a behavioural studies  programme. In the case of ti-ligers, they have unusual striping where it  breaks up and display a blotchy appearance. Since they are 3/4 tiger,  their characteristics inhibit more of those of a tiger than a lion.  <img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/tiliger01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.hemmy.net/images/animals/tiliger02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
