Hybrid Animals That Actually Exist
Liger: Male Lion And Female Tiger Hybrid Animal The offspring of a male lion and female tiger, the liger is probably the most famous hybrid animal of all and the largest of the big cats.
Tigon: Male Tiger and Female Lion Hybrid Animal Nobody could fault you for thinking a tigon should basically be the exact same animal as a liger. After all, they’re both mixes of lions and tigers. However, when a male tiger mates with a female lion, the resulting offspring is a tigon.
Wholphin: False Killer Whale and Dolphin Hybrid Animal Wholphins are one of the rarest hybrid animals. They come from the crossbreeding of a female bottle-nosed dolphin and a male false killer whale (a member of the dolphin family that isn’t related to killer whales).
Leopon: Leopard and Lion Hybrid Animal Leopons are beautiful and uncommon hybrids resulting from a male leopard and female lion union. Leopons grow to be nearly as large as lions, but they have shorter legs like a leopard. The animal hybrids also have other leopard traits, including love for water and climbing chops.
Beefalo: Buffalo and Cow Hybrid Animal Beefalo is the hybridization of buffalo and domestic cattle. In most cases, breeders create beefalo by pairing a domesticated bull with a female American bison. Unlike many other types of animal hybrids, beefalo are able to reproduce on their own, which is useful.
Grolar Bear: Grizzly and Polar Bear Hybrid Animal Grolar bears, as you might expect, are a cross between a grizzly bear and polar bear. These animals are also sometimes called “pizzly bears,” and some First Nations peoples call them “nanulak,” which is a blend of their words for a polar bear, “nanuk,” and grizzly bear, “aklak.”
Jaglion: Jaguar and Lion Hybrid Animal Another stunning and intriguing big cat hybrid is the jaglion, which comes from the mating of a male jaguar and a female lion.
Zebroid: Zebra and Horse Hybrid Animal Technically, a zebroid is actually a hybrid of a zebra and any equine species. When paired with a horse, the result is called a “zorse.” Zebra hybrids are usually infertile and pairings are rare.
Geep: Goat and Sheep Hybrid Animal One of the cutest and cuddliest hybrid animals is the geep, an endearing cross between a goat and a sheep.
Cama: Camel and Llama Hybrid Animal Like beefalo, the cama was created to produce an animal that was more economically viable than either of its parents. Camas are hybrids of dromedary camels and llamas, typically via artificial insemination.
