spidermonkey Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 All sorts of cat hybrids have been created, either accidentally or deliberately Bengal (domestic) cats originated as a hybrid between a domestic cat and a wild leopard cat (NOT a leopard ) http://www.lairweb.org.nz/tiger/hybrids.html http://www.messybeast.com/genetics/hybrid-cats.htm i have 2 Bengals great cats very funny:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Ligers grow so large because the genes from the male and female parents combine in such a way that the bit that limits growth gets left out. Presumably Tigons have two, hence why they are smaller. I'd thought they'd been kicking around for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannhauser Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 REALLY fecking huge! Afaik this is the first one ever, so only been around a few years. Another case of humans playing God with genetics. I'm afraid that scientists have now gone one stage further and crossed a tiger with an aubergine. An 'auberger' (eggplanger' in the US) is much larger and more aggressive than a regular aubergine. There was an incident last year when one escaped and hid in the fruit and veg aisle in Tescos. A pensioner was badly clawed and had to be destroyed.
