Liger ( Male Lion + Female Tiger)

Though this kindof species and breeds crossing does not usually appear in nature, with the intervention of humans, wenow have zonkeys, ligers, and Savannah cats. These offsprings are typically infertile, with someexceptions such as the coywolf (not to be confused with a wolf that is coy), that is a mix of a coyoteand a wolf and can further reproduce.

Though the internet is full of photoshopped images of strange creatures, this list is full of absolutelyreal and amazing animals. What does the future hold, with advances in genetic engineering andcloning? Only time will tell! Keep reading to �nd out more about these weird animals.

KatieParker 3 years agoWhat I think is people should stop breeding animals that normally would not breed in nature. Thebabies that turn out well may be sold or exhibited, and those that don't wind up at sanctuaries if thereis room, or dig neglected, or dying. There's a reason most of these are "found" only in a captivity.

HeatherOgden 3 years agoLigers are a terrible thing for humans to create. They suffer from gigantism Their body never stopsgrowing and becomes too much for the heart to handle. So although all the animals are cute....theyaren't exactly healthy
